EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning oil on canvas painting depicts Maria Theresa (1717-1780), the Empress of Austria from the House of Habsburg, in an elegant and resplendent dress. The portrait was created as a gift for the city of Ghent in Belgium, which had contributed financially to the cost of the empress's attire. The painting, executed in rich and vibrant colors, captures the regal presence and refined beauty of Maria Theresa. She is depicted in an upright position, wearing a grand gown adorned with intricate gold and pearl embroidery, and a diadem adorned with precious stones. The vertical composition of the painting emphasizes the empress's stature and authority. The painting is a testament to the artistic and cultural connections between Austria and Flanders during the 18th century. The city of Ghent, which proudly displays the painting in its City Hall, continues to celebrate its historical ties to the Habsburg monarchy and the legacy of Maria Theresa, a powerful and influential ruler in European history.
