'''''The Infanta Maria Theresa of Spain''''' or '''''The Infanta Maria Theresa aged 14''''' is a portrait by [[Diego Velázquez]] of [[Maria Theresa of Spain]], from 1653, when she was about thirteen years.<ref name="g240">Gállego, 240</ref> It has been cut down at the top and bottom and is now in the [[Kunsthistorisches Museum]] in [[Vienna]]. <br />
<br />
It is considered one of the strongest of artist' late portraits, showing its subject in a majestic pose, illuminated in a light dress against a dark background. Its seriousness and formality is added to by the two watches she carries, whilst the handkerchief in her left hand is one of the painting's highlights.<br />
<br />
Velázquez and his assistants created three paintings to be sent to potential husbands for the Infanta (who eventually married [[Louis XIV]]).<ref name="g240" /> Two other versions are on display in the [[Museum of Fine Arts, Boston]] and the [[Louvre]].<br />
