Portrait of Maria Theresa of Austria, Queen Consort of France. European

Descriptio Oil on canvas. Dimensions 185 x 67 cm and 106 x 86 cm. Portrait of Maria Theresa of Austria, Queen Consort of France, depicted in highly refined court attire, highlighting the richness of the textiles and the sumptuousness of the adornments. The figure stands erect, with a solemn bearing and restrained expression, underscoring her rank and dynastic dignity. The details of the clothing, the jewels, and the symbolic elements associated with the monarchy reinforce the official character of the effigy, while the treatment of light delicately models the face and hands. The precise brushwork and attention to texture adhere to the canons of 18th-century court portraiture, where the representation of power is articulated through compositional balance and formal elegance, fully integrated into the European pictorial tradition of the Ancien Régime. Due to its age and history of use, this lot may show signs of wear and previous interventions. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, no specialized technical testing has been performed. The absence of any mention of restorations does not guarantee that none exist. You may request additional information before placing a bid. This does not affect the buyer’s statutory rights.
