The present painting is a portrait of Mariana (Maria Anna) of Austria (Wiener Neustadt 1634 –1696 Madrid), the Queen consort of Spain, who was the second wife of King Philip IV, who was also her maternal uncle. As the daughter of the Holy Roman Emperor Ferdinand III, Maria Anna’s destiny was to continue the matrimonial policy between the Spanish and the Austrian branches of the Habsburg family.
