Isabella I de Katholieke 1620 - 1664

Stefano della Bella's etching "Isabella I de Katholieke" is a portrait of Queen Isabella I of Castile, who ruled jointly with her husband Ferdinand II of Aragon. The etching is part of a series that celebrates the powerful women of history and features Isabella in a long gown and cloak. This small, detailed etching created in the 17th century is a testament to della Bella's talent as an engraver and his interest in historical figures. It is now housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
