Francesco Terzi, an Italian painter active in the mid‑16th century, executed a full‑length oil portrait of Archduchess Barbara of Austria in 1565. The work, rendered on panel, presents the Habsburg princess in a formal stance, emphasizing her status and attire. It is presently held in the collection of the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna.

The painting belongs to a period when Italian artists were commissioned by Northern courts to produce portraits that combined Italianate elegance with local expectations of representation. Terzi, a pupil of Giovanni Battista Moroni, brought the meticulous observation of Moroni’s portraiture to the more decorative Mannerist idiom favored by the Habsburgs.
