Anne of Austria, Queen of France and Navarre (1601-1666),

Created in enamel, the portrait employs the medium’s characteristic luminosity and precise coloration. The artist achieved fine detail in the hair, fabric folds, and jewelry through successive layers of powdered glass fused to a metal substrate. The decorative frame, featuring floral motifs and gilded accents, complements the enamel’s glossy surface and reinforces the piece’s courtly aesthetic.

Since its production in the mid‑17th century, the enamel portrait has been part of the Nationalmuseum’s collection in Stockholm. The museum acquired the work as part of its holdings of French court portraiture, where it remains displayed as an example of royal iconography and the specialized enamel technique practiced by French artists of the era.
