Maria Anna of Spain

Jacob Louis after Pieter Claesz Soutman

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts an upper-body portrait of a person seated in a forward-facing position. The person has a composed facial expression with finely arched eyebrows, a slender nose, and delicate lips. Their hair is styled in a short, curly manner, forming neatly around the head. They are dressed in an elaborate garment featuring a large, ornate ruff collar and a richly decorated bodice adorned with pearls and intricate patterns. The figure wears an elaborate jeweled headpiece and a prominent medallion that hangs at the center of the chest, surrounded by layered strands of pearls. The background consists of a decorative frame with intricate floral and leaf motifs, creating an opulent border around the portrait.
