Portret van Margaretha van Beieren 1620

Adriaen Matham's "Portret van Margaretha van Beieren," a 1620 engraving, depicts the queen in a regal pose, adorned with a crown and elaborate clothing. Her right hand holds a staff, and her left hand is raised in a gesture of authority. Behind her stands a banner bearing the coat of arms of the House of Wittelsbach, which Margaretha belonged to. The artwork showcases Matham's mastery of detail, particularly evident in the intricate rendering of the queen's garments and the delicate lines of the banner. This engraving is a fine example of Dutch portraiture from the early 17th century and is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum.
