Portrait of the Archduchess Maria Anna of Austria

The portrait is executed in oil paint on canvas, a standard support choice for mid-17th-century formal portraiture.

The portrait is executed in oil paint on canvas, a standard support choice for mid-17th-century formal portraiture. The canvas measures 135 cm in height by 95 cm in width, giving the work a substantial vertical format suited to a full-length or three-quarter-length depiction of the sitter.

Stylistically, the work is consistent with the Baroque courtly portrait tradition practiced in the Habsburg cultural sphere, where Joachim von Sandrart the Elder was active. The painting is held in the collection of the Kunsthistorisches Museum, and its condition and finer handling, such as brushwork, glazing, or surface state, are not documented in the available sources.
