About the piece

Painted in 1664 by the celebrated Roman artist Carlo Maratta, this portrait of Maria Madalena Rospigliosi exemplifies the sophistication of Baroque portraiture. The work is notable for its masterful rendering of textures, from the delicate translucence of the lace cuffs to the soft luster of the pearls, all set against a rich, atmospheric background that brings the subject into sharp, dignified focus.
