"Infanta Margarita Teresa in a Blue Dress" is a 1659 portrait by the Spanish painter Diego Rodríguez de Silva y Velázquez, one of the most prominent artists of the Spanish Golden Age. This oil on canvas painting, measuring 127 cm by 107 cm, is part of a series of portraits that Velázquez made of Margarita Teresa, the daughter of King Philip IV of Spain and his second wife, Mariana of Austria. The painting is currently housed in the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, Austria.

The portrait features the young Infanta Margarita Teresa, who was around eight years old at the time, dressed in an exquisite blue dress with silver braid and decorations. The choice of blue, often associated with the Virgin Mary, was likely intended to emphasize the Infanta's innocence and royal status. The painting is renowned for its masterful depiction of the textures of the fabrics, the delicate lace and the intricate detail of the dress, as well as the Infanta's solemn yet childlike expression.

Velázquez's portrayal of the Spanish princess is notable for its use of light and shadow, which creates a three-dimensional effect and enhances the sense of volume and space around the figure. The background is subdued, with a neutral tone that allows the figure of the Infanta to stand out prominently. The artist's skillful brushwork is evident in the rendering of the Infanta's face and hands, capturing both the tenderness of her youth and the formality required of a royal portrait.

This painting is part of a larger body of work that documents the life of Margarita Teresa from childhood through her later years as Holy Roman Empress, providing a unique visual record of a royal life in the 17th century. The series of portraits also reflects the close relationship between Velázquez and the Spanish court, where he served as both court painter and chamberlain to the king.

"Infanta Margarita Teresa in a Blue Dress" is considered one of Velázquez's finest portraits, exemplifying his ability to convey the dignity and elegance of his royal subjects while also capturing their human vulnerability. The painting remains a significant work in the history of European art, admired for its technical brilliance and its poignant representation of a young princess at a moment in time.
