Description: | This is possibly a copy after the portrait of Margarita of Austria in the Prado by Juan Pantoja de la Cruz, in which she wears the same gold and white court dress and feathered head-dress. The unknown painter probably worked after a copy of Pantoja's picture by his successor Bartolomé González. The remoteness and stiffness of this image, as well as the emphasis on the Queen's adornment, are characteristic of court portraiture. The sitter was the wife of the Spanish King Philip III and daughter of Archduke Charles of Austria-Styria and Maria of Bavaria. | Subjects: | portrait (Margaret of Austria Queen of Spain) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: González, Bartolomé (Spanish painter, 1564-1627) Æ Attributed to after Attributed to after Pantoja de la Cruz, Juan (Spanish painter, 1554-1608) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=9025... | Go to resource |
