Portrait of Queen Mariana de Austria as a Widow (1669). Juan Carreño de Miranda (Spanish, 1614-1685). Oil on canvas. Museo del Prado.

In this portrait Carreño follows the tradition of Velázquez. However, the Mariana of this canvas does not resemble the brightly adorned queen painted by Velázquez in 1652. Instead, in this somber portrait, she is cloaked with a dark head covering or tocas, imitating convent attire.
