"Empress Maria Theresa" is a notable oil on canvas portrait by Martin van Meytens, also known as Martin II Mytens, who was a Swedish-Austrian court painter of the 18th century. This portrait, which dates from around 1759, depicts Maria Theresa, the only female ruler of the Habsburg dominions and the last of the House of Habsburg. She was also the sovereign of Austria, Hungary, Croatia, Bohemia, Mantua, Milan, Lodomeria and Galicia, the Austrian Netherlands, and Parma. By marriage, she was the Duchess of Lorraine, Grand Duchess of Tuscany, and Holy Roman Empress.

The painting is significant for its representation of Maria Theresa not only as a sovereign but also as a symbol of enlightened absolutism and maternal symbolism, which were central themes of her reign. Meytens' portrait captures the Empress in regal attire, adorned with the accoutrements of her imperial status, including the crown, scepter, and ermine-trimmed cloak, which signify her power and authority.

Martin van Meytens was a prominent painter at the Habsburg court, and his works were instrumental in shaping the visual iconography of the Habsburg monarchy during the 18th century. His portraits are characterized by their meticulous detail, vibrant colors, and the ability to convey the grandeur and decorum of the imperial court.

The "Empress Maria Theresa" portrait is an important work in Meytens' oeuvre and is held in high regard for its artistic and historical significance. It provides insight into the representation of female power in a male-dominated society and serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of one of the most influential female rulers in European history. The painting is housed in the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, Austria, which holds one of the most extensive collections of Habsburg family portraits.
