This solid, respectable work by Alonso Sánchez Coello incorporates most of the standard props of the period’s paintings of female royals – hand on the chair to signify power, a dramatic gesture, and kerchief in left hand. Coello’s wizardry for bringing jewels and fabrics to life from the canvas does not fail to charm the viewer.
