"Portrait of Queen Mariana of Austria" is an oil painting by the Spanish artist Diego Rodríguez de Silva y Velázquez, who is widely regarded as one of the most important painters of the Spanish Golden Age. Completed in 1652 or 1653, this artwork is one of several portraits Velázquez made of Mariana of Austria, who was the second wife of King Philip IV of Spain and also his niece. As queen consort, Mariana's likeness was an important symbol of the Spanish monarchy and its power.

The portrait is notable for its detailed representation of the queen's attire and the opulence of the Spanish court. Mariana is depicted in a lavish dress with a wide, stiff skirt, which was typical of the Spanish court fashion of the mid-17th century. Her ensemble is adorned with intricate lace and embroidery, showcasing the wealth and status of the royal family. The use of light and shadow, a hallmark of Velázquez's style, brings a sense of depth and realism to the portrait.

Velázquez's skill in capturing the textures of fabrics and the subtleties of the human face is evident in this work. The queen's expression is solemn and somewhat melancholic, which has been interpreted by some art historians as reflective of the rigid formality of the Habsburg court or perhaps the personal challenges she faced, including the loss of several children and the political difficulties of the time.

The painting is housed in the Museo del Prado in Madrid, Spain, where it remains a significant piece in the collection of Spanish royal portraiture. As a masterwork of Velázquez, "Portrait of Queen Mariana of Austria" is celebrated for its artistic excellence and as a valuable historical document of the 17th-century Spanish monarchy.
