Portret van Isabella Clara Eugenia, infante van Spanje 1630 - 1646

This etching by Lucas Vorsterman I, created between 1630 and 1646, portrays Isabella Clara Eugenia, the Infanta of Spain, in a dignified and somber pose. The detailed engraving captures her features with precision, showcasing her elegant attire and the prominent lace collar. The somber tone, perhaps reflecting her widowhood, is heightened by the dark shadows and her somber expression. The etching, now held in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to Vorsterman's skill in capturing the essence of his subjects. This artwork is a fascinating example of 17th-century portraiture and a valuable window into the life of a prominent historical figure.
