Like the portrait of her husband (P1683), Isabel Clara Eugenia, ruler of the Low Countries, is depicted sitting under a red canopy on a balcony open to landscape. In this case, the palace visible in the distance is Mariemont, one of the Infanta's favorites, which she had remodeled.

The style of her clothing, especially the collar, date this work from the beginning of the second decade of the seventeenth century, a moment of maximum collaboration between Rubens, who painted her figure, and Brueghel, who made the landscape. Both of them worked as painters for the Archduke and Dutchess and it was through paintings like these that they communicated the magnificence of their patron's rule.
