| Description |
English: Portrait of Princess Maria Christina I, Princess of Transylvania (1574-1621), daughter of Charles II, Archduke of Austria (1540-1590)
"This is an original 1721 black and white copper engraving of "Christierna Ertzherzogin zu Österreich." This is a portrait of Archduchess Maria Christina of Austria, daughter of Archduke Charles II of Austria and Maria Anna of Bavaria, Princess of Sibenburgen (Transylvania ) as wife of Sigismund Báthory von Siebenburgen, Prince of Transylvania. When Sigismund abdicated his throne for a second time in 1599, Maria Christina returned to Austria. In 1599 Pope Clement VIII dissolved her marriage, and in 1607 she joined to her younger sister Eleanor in the Haller Convent in Hall in Tirol, where she died in 1621. The portrait is surrounded by a beautiful decorative motif mimicking a frame set against a strongly cross-hatched and etched background. The design features a subtly ornate frame upon which the heraldic, two-headed Quarter Eagle sits, drawing back drapery from the portrait and framing the Crown of the Austrian Empire. The drapery flows down the left and right side of the frame, flanking the portrait before meeting a botanical design at the bottom of the image." |
