Infanta Margarita Teresa in a Peach Dress
Infanta Margarita Teresa in a Peach Dress is an oil on canvas painting by Spanish painter Diego Velázquez, from 1653 to 1654.This painting was offered by her father, Philip IV of Spain, to the Viennese court so that her fiancé Leopold I of Habsburg could know how she looked like.Another version with variants, where the infanta seems somewhat older and her hair looks longer, is kept in the Palacio de Liria in Madrid (Casa de Alba Collection).Traditionally assumed to be an authentic work of Velázquez, it is now believed to have been painted by an assistant.The infanta's left hand holds a closed fan.
