Central to the design is the delicate lace collar, a "tour de force" of marble carving, appearing as if real cloth. The design also includes Maria's intricate hairstyle, and the ropes of pearls that adorn her chest and neck, and the flower in her hair. Even the clasp of her jewelry showing the Barberini family's bee emblem is present, all rendered in exquisite detail.
Meaning and Symbolism
