"Queen Dona Mariana of Austria" is a portrait painting by the Spanish artist Diego Rodríguez de Silva y Velázquez, completed between 1652 and 1653. The artwork is a representation of Mariana of Austria, who was the second wife of King Philip IV of Spain and mother of his successor, Charles II. As one of the most significant works by Velázquez, this portrait is renowned for its exquisite depiction of the queen, showcasing the artist's mastery of form, color, and texture.

The painting features Queen Mariana adorned in an elaborate dress with a wide, stiffened skirt, typical of Spanish court fashion of the mid-17th century. Her attire is richly decorated with intricate lace and precious stones, reflecting her royal status. The queen's solemn expression and the subdued palette of the painting are characteristic of Velázquez's mature style, which often conveyed the dignity and gravity of his royal subjects.

Velázquez served as the leading artist at the court of King Philip IV, and his portraits of the royal family are considered some of the finest examples of royal portraiture of the Baroque period. "Queen Dona Mariana of Austria" is particularly noted for its psychological depth and the realism with which Velázquez rendered the textures of fabrics and jewels.

The painting is held in high esteem not only for its artistic qualities but also for its historical significance, as it provides insight into the Spanish court's presentation of monarchy and the role of women in the Habsburg dynasty. Today, the portrait is part of the collection of the Museo del Prado in Madrid, Spain, where it continues to be studied and admired by art historians and the public alike.
