"María Teresa" is a portrait of the Infanta María Teresa, the daughter of King Philip IV and Mariana of Austria, painted by Diego Velázquez between 1651 and 1654. This portrait, known for its striking realism, captures the young Infanta in a moment of quiet contemplation, her face a study in youthful innocence and regal bearing. Her elaborate hairdo, adorned with delicate white lace, frames her face and speaks to the fashion trends of the time. This painting is a testament to Velázquez's mastery of portraiture, capturing not just the physical likeness of his subject, but also her inner spirit.
