Maria Theresa of Spain, Queen Consort of France (1638-1683): A Regal Portrait in Blue Velvet and Pearls This portrait captures the elegance and grace of Maria Theresa of Spain, who became Queen Consort of France upon her marriage to King Louis XIV in 1660. Dressed in the opulence of the French Court, Maria Theresa dons a stunning blue velvet gown adorned with fleurs-de-lis, a symbol of the French monarchy. The dress is lined with ermine, a fur commonly used in royal attire, adding an air of grandeur and luxury. Maria Theresa's intricately designed bodice is quilted and decorated with pearls, further emphasizing her regal status. Her lace sleeves add a delicate touch to the ensemble, while her pearl choker completes the look. Her ringlets cascade down her shoulders, framing her face and adding to her youthful beauty. This portrait, based on a miniature in the editor's collection, is a handcoloured copperplate engraving by Georges Jacques Gatine after an illustration by Louis Marie Lante from the "Galerie Francaise de Femmes Celebres," published in Paris in 1827. The meticulous attention to detail in the engraving showcases the beauty and sophistication of Maria Theresa, who ruled as queen consort for over two decades, until her death in 1683.
