In 1633, Henrietta of Lorraine was forced to flee France, disguised as a man, after her younger sister Margaret secretly married Gaston, Duc d’Orleans, brother of the French king Louis XIII. The childless king considered the marriage between his brother and a member of the powerful Lorraine family a threat and so exiled Gaston, Margaret and Henrietta. This portrait by Van Dyck was painted just a few months later, at the court of Archduchess Isabella Clara Eugenia in Brussels, where Henrietta and Margaret took refuge. Henrietta is attended by a young black page, who has been helping her to gather roses. The identity of the page is unknown, although there is evidence to suggest there were African servants and musicians at the court of Archduchess Isabella.
