Description: | French-born Isabella of Bourbon (1603-1644) was the first Queen of King Phillip IV of Spain (1605-1665). In this half-length portrait she is wearing, besides the court dress and four-string pearl necklace, one of the giant silk collars typical of the Spanish fashion of the period. The head bears a considerable resemblance in features, position and lighting to that in the equestrian portrait of Isabella in the Prado, Madrid, that was painted by Bartholomeo González and then retouched by Velázquez. | Subjects: | figure; portrait (Isabella of Bourbon Queen of Spain) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Velázquez, Diego (Spanish painter, 1599-1660) Æ Attributed to school of | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8767... | Go to resource |
