About the piece
Painted in 1653 by Justus Sustermans, this official portrait depicts Vittoria della Rovere as the Grand Duchess of Tuscany. The work is a masterclass in Baroque opulence, showcasing the sitter's status through an extraordinary display of pearls and intricate lace contrasted against deep, dramatic tones. The technical mastery of the fabrics and the luminous skin tones make this a quintessential piece of 17th-century European portraiture.
