"Portrait of the Infanta Margarita" c. 1660 is a notable painting by the Spanish artist Diego Rodríguez de Silva y Velázquez, one of the leading figures of the Spanish Golden Age of Baroque art. This work is one of several portraits Velázquez made of the young Infanta Margarita Teresa, the daughter of King Philip IV of Spain and his second wife, Mariana of Austria. The painting is believed to have been created around 1660, just a few years before the artist's death.

The portrait depicts the Infanta at around five or six years of age, dressed in an elaborate and luxurious costume that reflects her royal status. The attire often includes a wide, farthingale skirt and a bodice adorned with intricate decorations, showcasing the opulence of the Spanish court. Velázquez's skill in rendering the textures of fabrics and the delicate features of the young princess is evident in this work.

Velázquez served as the court painter to King Philip IV, and his portraits of the royal family are celebrated for their psychological depth and realism. In this portrait, as in his others, Velázquez captures not only the physical likeness of the Infanta but also a sense of her character and the formality of her position within the Habsburg dynasty.

The painting is a prime example of Velázquez's mature style, characterized by a sophisticated use of light and shadow, a restrained color palette, and a loose, almost impressionistic brushwork that would go on to influence future generations of artists. The exact location of this particular portrait is not specified, but other portraits of the Infanta by Velázquez are held in prominent museum collections, including the Prado Museum in Madrid and the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna.

"Portrait of the Infanta Margarita" is not only a testament to Velázquez's mastery of portraiture but also an important historical document that provides insight into the Spanish court and the representation of royal children in 17th-century Europe. As with many of Velázquez's portraits, this painting continues to be studied and admired for its artistic excellence and its contribution to the understanding of European art history.
