About the piece

Attributed to a 17th-century Spanish master, this formal portrait captures the majesty of Marie de' Medici. The painting is a masterclass in texture, from the translucent delicate lace of the ruff to the heavy, embroidered fabric of her gown, accented by luminous tiers of pearls and a jeweled bodice. Set against a dark, atmospheric background, it epitomizes the dignified grandeur of Old World portraiture.
