Sobre a pintura

Juan Bautista Martínez del Mazo (1613-1667) was probably born in Cuenca and married in 1633 the daughter of Diego Velazquez, Francisca, which suggests that he was already Velazquez' apprentice before this date. Velázquez arranged for Philip IV to appoint Mazo as 'Ujier de Cámara' in 1634 and after his death in 1660, Mazo succeeded him as Pintor de Cámara. He chiefly produced state portraits in the same manner as his master Velazquez but also landscapes paintings with small figures that look more personal in style.

This painting is a copy after the portrait of the Infanta Margarita, daughter of Philip IV of Spain, formerly attributed to Velazquez but currently given to his son-in-law, Juan Bautista Martínez del Mazo. It shows the Princess in a lavish Baroque dress that reflects the fashion of the Madrid court during the second half of the 17th century. This portrait was probably executed to record the appearance of the Princess and be sent over to her future husband, Leopold I of Austria. The copy dates from the late 19th century and was probably made for training purposes.
