Margaret of Austria. Artist: Jean Hey (called Master of Moulins) (Netherlandish, active fourth quarter 15th century). Dimensions: 12 7/8 x 9 1/8 in. (32.7 x 23 cm). Date: ca. 1490.The daughter of Emperor Maximilian I, Margaret of Austria was betrothed at the age of three to the infant dauphin Charles, the future Charles VIII, and served briefly as "queen of France" from 1483 to 1491.
