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.[1][2][3]
It shows Elisabeth of Valois, third wife of Philip II of Spain.[4] 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,[5] whilst her black clothing testifies to the austerity of the Spanish court at that time.[6]
