Cecilia Renata of Austria (1611–1644) was an Archduchess of Austria and Queen of Poland, depicted in a notable portrait by the artist Peter Danckerts de Rij. Born into the Habsburg dynasty, she was the daughter of Holy Roman Emperor Ferdinand II and Maria Anna of Bavaria. Her marriage to Władysław IV Vasa, King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania, in 1637 was a significant political alliance aimed at strengthening ties between Austria and Poland.

The portrait by Peter Danckerts de Rij, a Dutch painter active in Poland, captures Cecilia Renata in a regal and dignified manner, reflecting her status and the fashion of the time. Danckerts de Rij was known for his detailed and realistic style, which is evident in the intricate depiction of Cecilia Renata's attire and the subtle expression on her face. The painting is an important historical artifact, providing insight into the clothing, jewelry, and aesthetics of European nobility in the 17th century.

Cecilia Renata's tenure as queen was marked by her involvement in cultural and political activities at the Polish court. She was known for her patronage of the arts and her efforts to promote Catholicism, aligning with the Counter-Reformation policies of her Habsburg family. Her marriage to Władysław IV was reportedly harmonious, although it did not produce any surviving children, which was a source of personal and political disappointment.

Tragically, Cecilia Renata's life was cut short when she died in 1644 at the age of 32, possibly due to complications from childbirth. Her death was mourned by both the Polish and Austrian courts, and she was buried in the Wawel Cathedral in Kraków, a resting place for Polish royalty.

The portrait by Danckerts de Rij remains a valuable piece of art, housed in collections that preserve the legacy of Cecilia Renata and the intricate connections between European royal families during the 17th century.
