# Portrait of the Infanta Catalina Micaela [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [SANCHEZ COELLO, Alonso]() - Date: 1551-1600 - Technique: Oil on canvas, 70 x 50 cm ## Commentary Portrait of the Infanta Catalina Micaela 1582-85 Oil on canvas, 70 x 50 cm The Hermitage, St. Petersburg Catalina Micaela of Austria \(1567-1597\) was the youngest daughter of king Philip II of Spain. Sánchez Coello, the most important court portraitist in the 16th century, was directly influenced by the models of his master Anthonis Mor. Resorting to the analytical precision of Flemish tradition and, above all, to the quality of the draughtsmanship, at once precise and descriptive, Sánchez Coello reveals himself to be one of the most felicitous interpreters of the image of majesty. ## Related artworks - [Diego de Covarrubias]() - [Doña Juana, Princess of Portugal]() - [Infantas Isabel Clara Eugenia and Catalina Micaela]() - [Philip II Holding a Rosary]() - [Philip II]() - [Prince Don Carlos of Austria]() - [St Sebastian between St Bernard and St Francis]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
