Catherine of Burgundy is a 1570 unspecified by Anton Boys, a Dutch Golden Age work, held at Kunsthistorisches Museum.
This painting portrays a woman with long, wavy red hair, adorned with a red and white headpiece. She wears a gold necklace featuring a pendant and a gold-trimmed, off-the-shoulder dress. The background is dark, which helps to accentuate the subject's features. The woman's gaze is directed slightly to the right of the viewer, and her expression appears somewhat serious. Her attire and accessories suggest that she may be a member of royalty or nobility. To learn more about the artist behind this portrait, explore the works of Anton Boys.
