This painting is a copy of the upper of Velazquez’ full-length Portrait of the Infanta Maria Teresa, of which three versions exist. It depicts the portrait bust of the Spanish princess, daughter of Philip IV, King of Spain, and Elisabeth of France, who was to marry Louis XIV, king of France. She is here portrayed in a lavish Baroque dress with her imposing headdress, typical of the fashion of the Madrid court in the mid 17th century. The copy may date from the 18th century although a precise dating remains difficult to assert.



Half-length portrait of a young girl wearing a white, pearl-trimmed mantle-like collar with a pinky/silvery bow at the centre over a white bodice with pearls and a voluminous headdress.
