Portrait of Joan of Castile

About this work

This painting depicts a woman in a white dress with a red and gold patterned skirt. She wears a black head covering and a red and gold patterned cloak draped over her shoulders. Her hands are clasped in front of her, and she stands in a landscape with trees and buildings in the background. The woman's clothing and the landscape suggest a sense of wealth and status. The level of detail in the painting, particularly in the woman's clothing and the landscape, indicates a high level of skill on the part of the artist.
