Specialist note

This portrait of Albert VII, Archduke of Austria relates to a three-quarter length version by Otto van Veen in the Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna (inv. no. 1061). Albert, the third son of Emperor Maximilian II and Maria of Habsburg, was brought up at the Spanish Court and in 1577 was made Cardinal of Toledo. From 1585 to 1595 he was viceroy of Portugal. In 1596 he was appointed Stadtholder of Portugal and in 1599, he relinquished his orders and married the Infanta Isabella, daughter of Philip II of Spain.
