"Maria Theresa, Empress of Austria" by Pierre Duflos is a notable portrait capturing Maria Theresa (1717–1780), the only female ruler of the Habsburg dominions and the last of the House of Habsburg. Pierre Duflos, a French engraver active during the 18th century, is known for his detailed and delicate engravings, which often depicted royalty and notable figures of his time. This particular work is significant for its artistic representation of one of the most influential female monarchs in European history.

Maria Theresa ascended to the throne in 1740 and her reign marked a period of significant reform and development within the Habsburg monarchy. She was a key figure in the modernization of her empire, implementing reforms in the administrative, military, and educational sectors, which laid the groundwork for the later Austrian Empire. Her policies also had a profound impact on the arts, as she was a patron of the arts and music, significantly contributing to the cultural enrichment of her empire.

The portrait by Duflos not only captures the empress in her regal bearing but also reflects the cultural and artistic milieu of the 18th century. It is an important work for understanding the representation of female power and sovereignty in art, as well as the role of portraiture in the construction of royal identity. The engraving is characterized by its intricate detail and the skillful use of line by Duflos, which highlights the empress's dignified posture and attire, emblematic of her status and authority.

This portrait remains a valuable historical and artistic document, offering insights into the period's artistic styles and the portrayal of one of the most powerful women of the 18th century. It is a testament to the skill of Pierre Duflos as an engraver and his ability to capture the essence of his subjects, making it a significant piece in the study of European art history.
