"Portrait of the Empress Maria Theresa (1717-1780)" is a distinguished artwork by the Swiss-French painter Jean-Étienne Liotard, renowned for his mastery in pastel painting and portraiture. This particular portrait, executed during the 18th century, captures Maria Theresa, the only female ruler of the Habsburg dominions and the last of the House of Habsburg, in a moment of regal poise and elegance. Maria Theresa, who reigned from 1740 to 1780, was a significant figure in European history, known for her reforms in education, civil rights, and the military, which profoundly influenced the Enlightenment period across the continent.

Liotard, who was celebrated for his keen observation and the lifelike quality of his portraits, depicted the Empress with remarkable detail, emphasizing the textures of her attire and the softness of her demeanor. The portrait is notable for its realism, a hallmark of Liotard's work, achieved through his meticulous technique and his use of pastel, which allowed for vibrant coloration and intricate detail. The artwork reflects the cultural and political significance of Maria Theresa's reign, showcasing her not only as a sovereign but also as a patron of the arts and sciences, embodying the enlightened principles she supported.

The "Portrait of the Empress Maria Theresa" is not only a testament to Liotard's skill as a portraitist but also serves as a historical document, offering insight into the aesthetics, politics, and societal values of the 18th-century European court. This work is a valuable piece for scholars and enthusiasts of art history, providing a window into the life and legacy of one of Europe's most influential female leaders through the lens of one of the period's most accomplished artists.
