A court portrait of the infantas Isabel Clara Eugenia (1566-1633) and Catalina Micaela (1567-1597), who where the daughters of Felipe II (1556-1598) by his third wife, Isabel de Valois (1546-1568).

The girls are dressed as adults and shown at a distance. In keeping with the protocol of their relative ages, Isabel Clara Eugenia is closer to the viewer, in a painting that is halfway between official and private. This type of portraits exhibited the Monarch's dynastic continuity and simultaneously served as mementos of distant family members. S
