About the piece
Painted in 1749 by Matthias de Visch, this formal portrait depicts Empress Maria Theresa in a moment of stately repose. The artist masterfully renders the textures of her brocade gown and delicate lace collar, surrounded by the opulent symbols of her reign, including rich red canopies and a classical decorative urn.
