Portret van Maria, hertogin van Bourgondië 1620

This engraving by Adriaen Matham, created in 1620, portrays Maria, Duchess of Burgundy. The artwork, held in the Rijksmuseum, depicts the duchess in an elaborate gown and veil, her hands clasped in front of her. A coat of arms, featuring a prominent eagle, is displayed prominently on the right, signifying her noble lineage. The detailed depiction of the figure and her surroundings reflects the artistic sensibilities of the early 17th century. This small yet intricate portrait showcases the Dutch master's skill in capturing likeness and grandeur within a limited format.
