Infanta María Teresa
around 1652/53, Artist: Diego Rodríguez de Silva y Velázquez
Infanta María Teresa
María Teresa (1638–1683) was the daughter of Philip IV and his first wife Elisabeth of France. This portrait is one of the pictures sent to the courts of Vienna, Paris and Brussels in 1653 when possible matches were being considered for her. Eventually, in 1660, she was married to her cousin the French King Louis XIV. Preparing for the wedding celebrations was also a part of court painter Velázquez’s duties.
