EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the innocence and beauty of Maria Teresa, Infanta of Spain, in the mid-17th century. Painted by Juan Bautista Martinez del Mazo, a talented assistant to renowned artist Velazquez, this oil on canvas print measures 148x102.9 cm and is housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Maria Teresa was just seven years old when Mazo painted her likeness. The daughter of King Philip IV of Spain and his first queen, she would go on to marry her cousin Louis XIV and become Queen of France. This portrait showcases her youthful charm as she stands elegantly in a black dress adorned with lace. Mazo's attention to detail is evident throughout the painting. Behind Maria Teresa, a red curtain reveals a group of putti from an earlier work that he repurposed for this piece. The interior setting adds depth and richness to the composition. The artist skillfully captures Maria Teresa's royal lineage through carefully placed jewels that adorn her attire. Her loyal companion, a small dog at her feet, symbolizes loyalty and companionship. This exquisite baroque-style portrait not only serves as a testament to Mazo's talent but also provides us with an intimate glimpse into the life of one of Europe's most influential royal families during this era.
