Duchess Mary Elisabeth of Saxony 1638 - 1678

"Duchess Mary Elisabeth of Saxony" is an oil painting on canvas by Jürgen Ovens, created between 1638 and 1678. The painting depicts the Duchess in a simple, yet elegant, dark dress with a pearl necklace. The subject appears to be a member of the royal court, and the artist has captured her regal yet delicate features in this intimate portrait. This small painting, measuring only 19 cm x 14 cm, is now part of the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst collection. The artwork exemplifies the baroque style of portraiture popular during the 17th century in Europe.
