This portrait, commissioned from Eduardo Gimeno, depicts Alfonso X “the Wise” (1221—1284), King of Castile and León. He rests his hand on a parchment of the Siete Partidas, a legal code drafted during his reign, between 1256 and 1265, and on a table upon which rest the Tables of Astronomy or Alfonsine Tables, also created at his initiative.

Margaret Theresa of Spain (Spanish: Margarita Teresa, 1651—1673) was, by marriage to Leopold I, Holy Roman Empress, German Queen, Archduchess of Austria and Queen of Hungary and Bohemia. She was the daughter of King Philip IV of Spain and the elder full-sister of Charles II, the last of the Spanish Habsburgs. She had four children with her husband Leopold I, but Archduchess Maria Antonia (1669–1692) was their only child to survive infancy.

Angelica Kauffmann was a founding member of Britain’s Royal Academy of Arts and one of the most celebrated painters of her time. Her portrayal of another professional woman in the arts suggests an exceptional sympathy between artist and sitter.
