Portrait of Elisabeth of Valois facts for kids
Portrait of Elisabeth of Valois is an oil-on-canvas painting executed c.1561–1565 by the Italian artist Sofonisba Anguissola, now in the Museo del Prado in Madrid.
It shows Elisabeth of Valois, third wife of Philip II of Spain. Its iconography derives from Titian's Portrait of Elizabeth of Portugal, Philip's mother. Elisabeth is shown holding a miniature of Philip in her right hand, whilst her black clothing testifies to the austerity of the Spanish court at that time.
