Infanta Margarita Teresa is a 1660 oil by Juan Bautista Martínez del Mazo, a Early Baroque Italian work, depicting Margaret Theresa of Spain, held at Museum of Fine Arts, Budapest.
This portrait depicts a young girl, likely a princess, seated in a chair. She wears a lavish green and white dress with a large skirt, adorned with gold trim and a brooch at the center. Her blonde hair is styled in loose waves, and she gazes directly at the viewer. The subject's attire and hairstyle suggest a high level of wealth and status. The painting's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and dimensionality, drawing the viewer's attention to the subject's face and hands.
