Why You’ll Love It
Painted by IGMA Artist Josephine Meyer, this miniature oil painting is a faithful interpretation of Diego Velázquez's iconic portrait of Infanta Margaret Theresa of Spain, one of the most recognizable royal portraits of the Spanish Baroque. Meyer beautifully captures the luminous innocence of the young princess while preserving the brushwork and rich painterly atmosphere Velázquez was known for. The young Infanta is depicted in her golden court gown with its wide pannier silhouette, accented with crimson ribbons and floral details. Her flowing blonde hair frames a serene expression as she stands with regal poise. It is displayed within an ornate gilt wood frame with an antique gold patina finish and Baroque ornamentation.

A Note About Value
Every miniature we offer has been carefully evaluated for its craftsmanship, rarity, condition, provenance, and collectibility. Many of the artisan pieces we sell are one-of-a-kind works that may never appear on the market again. While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.
Our pricing reflects the miniature's place within today's collector market and the years we've spent studying the artists, histories, and values that make these tiny works of art so special.
A Commitment to Research
Every miniature has a story, and uncovering it is one of our greatest passions. We carefully research each piece, but unsigned or illegible works can remain mysteries. If you can identify an artist or provide additional information, we'd be delighted to hear from you and will gladly update the listing to preserve their legacy.
