"Clara Serena Rubens" is an oil painting by the Flemish Baroque artist Peter Paul Rubens, depicting his daughter Clara Serena Rubens. Created circa 1616, when Clara Serena was about five or six years old, the portrait is a tender and intimate representation that deviates from Rubens' grandiose and dynamic style typically found in his mythological and historical paintings. The artwork measures 35.5 by 27.3 centimeters and is executed on wood panel.

The painting showcases Rubens' mastery in capturing the innocence and vulnerability of childhood, with a focus on the naturalistic portrayal of his daughter's features. Clara Serena is depicted with a gentle gaze, her cheeks flushed with a rosy hue, embodying the warmth and affection of a father's view of his child. The use of light and shadow in the painting enhances the three-dimensional quality of the figure, demonstrating Rubens' skill in rendering the softness of flesh and the texture of hair and clothing.

The provenance of "Clara Serena Rubens" is notable, as it remained in the artist's family until the 18th century. After changing hands through various private collections, the painting's attribution to Rubens was once questioned and it was even deaccessioned by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. However, subsequent scholarship and technical analysis have reaffirmed its authenticity, and it is now considered a significant work within Rubens' oeuvre, offering a rare glimpse into the artist's personal life and familial relationships.

Today, "Clara Serena Rubens" is recognized not only for its artistic merit but also for its emotional depth, providing insight into the bond between Rubens and his daughter, who tragically died at the age of twelve. The painting is celebrated for its sensitive portrayal of childhood and the intimate connection it reveals between the artist as a father and his subject as his beloved child.
