Claudia de' Medici (1604-1648), Archduchess of Austria-Tyrol
Claudia de' Medici, Archduchess of Austria-Tyrol, as Saint Catherine of Alexandria (not as Saint Christine of Bolsena)

You are able to identify the Saints as you are able to identify the men and women and children in the Renaissance portraits with the help of their specific symbols. The specific symbols of Christine of Bolsena are: the fiery furnace, the millstone, arrows, the grate, and serpents. One or more symbols can be used for the identification. The symbols for Saint Catherine of Alexandria are: the broken wheel, a palm frond, a crown, a book and a sword. Here in this portrait three symbols of Catherine of Alexandria were used: the broken wheel, the palm frond and the crown.

... and the Empress Maria of Spain (in the middle), the first wife of the Emperor Ferdinand III., with her three children: her son Ferdinand IV. (1633-1654), her daughter Maria Anna (1634-1696) and her son Leopold I. (1640-1705) and the Spanish Queen Isabella of France (on the left), the first wife of King Philip IV. of Spain, with her two children: her son Baltasar Carlos (1629-1646) and her daughter Maria Teresa (1638-1683).
