Maria Anna? (1606–1646), Infanta of Spain,Consort to Emperor Ferdinand III (Frans Luyckx) - Nationalmuseum - 15891

Description in Flemish paintings C. 1600-C. 1800 III, Nationalmuseum, Stockholm, 2010, cat.no. 129:
This full-length portrait of Maria Anna of Spain, the
wife of Emperor Ferdinand III has been painted in the
manner of Frans Luyckx. The subject is depicted next
to regalia that have been placed on a table and also to a
table on which there are two flower arrangements in
vases. Maria Anna, who was the consort of Ferdinand
III, is portrayed in a richly decorated gown with a ruff,
an elaborate coiffure with a diadem and holds a fan in
one hand. The work which reveals a large amount of
later overpainting has been executed on a coarse canvas
that differs from the works that can be attributed
to Luyckx. A similar portrait of Maria Anna of Spain
by Frans Luyckx belongs to the Kunsthistorisches
Museum in Vienna. The portrait in the Gripsholm
collection is a later version of this work, deviates from
the original in several respects and has been painted in
a simpler, more stylised technique than in original
paintings by Luyckx.
