This painting entered the Museo del Prado from the Lodgings of the Monastery of El Escorial, where it hung in 1847. At that time, José de Madrazo petitioned the religious order to have it “transferred to this Royal Museum so that it can be included in the chronological series of our Monarchs and Royal persons.” It was accompanied by another portrait of Marianne of Austria dressed as a nun (P644).
