"Empress Maria-Theresa (1717-80) 1744" is a notable portrait by Martin van Meytens II, also known as Martin Mytens, who was a prominent Swedish-Austrian court painter of the 18th century. Born in Stockholm in 1695 and later becoming active in Vienna, Meytens became one of the most sought-after portraitists in the Austrian court, capturing the likenesses of various members of the Habsburg dynasty. This particular painting is a significant art piece as it depicts Maria Theresa, the only female ruler of the Habsburg dominions and the last of the House of Habsburg, at the age of 27, a year after her accession to the throne in 1743.

Maria Theresa is portrayed in regal attire, embodying both her royal status and her role as a sovereign in a period marked by significant political and military challenges, including the War of the Austrian Succession. Meytens' skillful use of light and texture brings out the empress's dignified yet approachable character, a testament to his mastery in portraiture. The painting not only serves as a historical document, reflecting the fashion and aesthetics of the Austrian court in the mid-18th century but also offers insight into the political symbolism of royal portraiture, where power, femininity, and sovereignty intersect.

The artwork is a prime example of Meytens' refined and elegant style, characterized by its detailed realism and sophisticated color palette. Through this portrait, Meytens contributed to the immortalization of Empress Maria Theresa's image, capturing her both as a monarch and a woman of her era. Today, the painting is celebrated for its artistic and historical significance, offering a window into the legacy of one of Europe's most influential female leaders and the rich cultural milieu of the 18th-century Habsburg court.
