Konstanze von Habsburg, Archduchess of Central Austria, Later Queen of Poland is a 1604 oil by Joseph Heintz the Elder, a Early Baroque Italian work, held at Clark Art Institute.
This painting depicts a woman in a green dress with gold trim, standing in front of a column. She wears a ruffled collar and a pearl necklace, and has a small animal, possibly a lemur, on her right arm. The background is dark, with a subtle gradient that suggests depth. The woman's dress is intricately detailed, with a patterned underskirt visible beneath the green over-dress. Her hair is styled in an updo, adorned with a small decoration. The overall effect is one of opulence and refinement. The painting's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of drama and tension, drawing the viewer's eye to the woman's face.
