About this work

In the painting, Queen Marie de Medici is depicted disembarking in Antwerp. She is shown wearing a black dress with a white collar and is surrounded by a group of people, including men in armor and women in elaborate dresses. The scene is set against a backdrop of a harbor, with ships and boats visible in the distance. The painting features a mix of warm and cool colors, with the queen's black dress standing out against the lighter tones of the surrounding figures. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and dimensionality, drawing the viewer's eye to the queen. This painting is held at the Nationalmuseum.
