Created around 1663 by Dauphin, this exquisite piece can be found in the esteemed Collection of Castello di Racconigi. In this baroque masterpiece, Christine Marie exudes grace and power as she embodies Minerva's wisdom and strength. The artist skillfully captures her regal presence through the use of oil on canvas, bringing out every intricate detail with finesse.

It stands as a reminder that even within historical constraints, women like Christine Marie were able to assert their authority and leave an indelible mark on society.
