Immaculata is a 1661 oil by Francisco de Zurbarán, a Early Baroque Italian work, held at Museum of Fine Arts, Budapest.
This painting features a serene woman dressed in a white robe, adorned with a blue sash around her neck and a pink belt around her waist. Her long, wavy hair cascades down her back as she stands with her arms outstretched. The background is a vibrant blend of orange, yellow, and blue hues, with a subtle cityscape visible at the bottom.
