Portret van Isabella Clara Eugenia, infante van Spanje 1786

This 1786 engraving by Dutch artist Jan Punt (1711-1779) depicts Isabella Clara Eugenia, the Infanta of Spain, Duchess of Burgundy, Countess of Charolais and sovereign of the Habsburg Netherlands, during her reign. Punt utilizes a detailed and realistic style to portray Isabella in a formal pose, her face and elaborate ruff taking center stage. The oval frame and inscription below highlight the subject's importance as a prominent figure in 17th-century European history. This engraving is a fine example of the portraiture tradition of the Dutch Golden Age and is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum.
