This oil-on-canvas portrait, painted by Juan Bautista Martínez del Mazo, showcases María Teresa, the Infanta of Spain, in a dignified and regal pose. Painted between 1640 and 1650, the artwork captures the young infanta in a dark, formal dress adorned with intricate patterns, which highlight her youthful features and the opulence of the Spanish court. The subtle background, with hints of red drapery, adds to the portrait's sense of grandeur, making it a prime example of the artist's skill in portraying royal subjects with elegance and sophistication.
