"Portrait of Isabella Clara Eugenia of Austria" is an engraving by Antonie Wierix, a Flemish engraver and member of the prolific Wierix family of artists, known for their detailed and delicate print work during the late 16th and early 17th centuries. Isabella Clara Eugenia (1566–1633) was the daughter of Philip II of Spain and Elisabeth of Valois, and through her marriage to Albert VII, Archduke of Austria (1559–1621), she became a sovereign of the Spanish Netherlands in the Low Countries and the north of modern France, alongside her husband.

The portrait is a testament to the political and cultural significance of Isabella Clara Eugenia, who, as a governor of the Habsburg Netherlands, played a crucial role in the politics of the era, particularly during the time of the Eighty Years' War. Antonie Wierix's work captures her not only as a political figure but also as a patron of the arts, reflecting the sophistication and elegance of the Habsburg court.

The engraving is characterized by the meticulous attention to detail that is typical of the Wierix family's work. It likely served both as a piece of political propaganda and as a personal memento, disseminating the image of the archduchess across Europe. The portrait would have been an important tool in maintaining her public image and asserting her dynastic presence, as well as that of her husband, Albert, in the territories they governed.

While the exact date of the engraving's creation is not documented, it is presumed to have been produced during the lifetime of Isabella Clara Eugenia, reflecting her appearance and attire in the late 16th or early 17th century. The portrait remains an important historical artifact, offering insights into the iconography of European nobility, the role of women in governance, and the art of engraving during the Renaissance and Baroque periods.
