Raimundo de Madrazo's 1887 portrait of Queen Maria Cristina of Habsburg-Lorraine is a masterful example of Spanish portraiture. This oil-on-canvas work depicts the Queen in a formal pose, her gaze directed towards the viewer. The artist’s meticulous brushstrokes capture the Queen’s elegant attire and the delicate features of her face. The dark background and subtle lighting create a sense of intimacy and grandeur, emphasizing the Queen’s royal status. The painting is currently housed in the Museo del Prado in Madrid.
