"Marie Claire de Croÿ, Duchesse d'Havré and Child" is a notable 17th-century oil painting by Sir Anthony van Dyck, a Flemish Baroque artist renowned for his portraits of European aristocracy. The painting depicts Marie Claire de Croÿ (1605–1685), the Duchess of Havré, alongside her child. As a member of the high nobility, her status is emphasized through the grandeur and elegance of her portrayal. The work is characteristic of Van Dyck's sophisticated style and his ability to capture the grace and dignity of his sitters.

The painting is significant for its representation of motherhood within the context of aristocratic identity during the Baroque period. Van Dyck's skillful use of color, composition, and his sensitive rendering of fabrics and textures contribute to the painting's visual appeal and its portrayal of the sitters' social standing. The interaction between the duchess and her child also offers insights into the conventions of maternal affection and the representation of children in art during the era.

As with many of Van Dyck's portraits, "Marie Claire de Croÿ, Duchesse d'Havré and Child" reflects the influence of his mentor Peter Paul Rubens and his own development of a more relaxed and naturalistic portrait style. This painting is an example of Van Dyck's work during his time in the Southern Netherlands, before his appointment as the principal painter at the court of King Charles I of England.

The artwork is part of Van Dyck's extensive oeuvre and contributes to the understanding of his artistic legacy. It remains an important piece for the study of Baroque portraiture and the cultural history of the European nobility. The painting is also of interest to those studying the role of women and children in art and the evolution of family portraiture.

Today, "Marie Claire de Croÿ, Duchesse d'Havré and Child" is held in a public or private collection, and it continues to be the subject of scholarly attention and appreciation by art enthusiasts.
