The royal entourage draws the real person and the sample closest to the person of the king are the people who make up the entourage. This kind of entourage has been identified by Marin as the power of the sovereign's entourage. Entourage comprising that usually coincides who hold the most important positions within the royal houses. The dignity and decorum of the king, queen and their children require a high number of people serving, serving all parts of the body of his majesty.
In both portraits are represented members of the house of his/her mother, Queen Mariana, serving both children, infanta Margarita nad King Charles II, the only one who is not of the Queen's house is Velázquez.
I compare both entourage and i give detail on children education and who are the people who take care of the royal children using ettiquetas and others important sources.
Having no recent model available to use as a reference, queen Mariana saw herself in the need for reinventing much of her new functions and image, which can be perceived in her public depictions and particularly in her portraits. The portrait typologies created by Juan Bautista del Mazo and Carreño de Miranda are new as to the visual formulae they introduce, but more radically so as to the protrait's theme: a woman, Mariana, who acts as a ruler.
Key words: regency, Mariana de Austria, political portraits, J. Carreño de Miranda, J. B. Martínez del Mazo, house of Habsburg.

Tras dejar el poder como regente y tutora de su hijo Carlos II y también para marcar la toma del poder del rey tras diez años de gobierno de su madre y la Junta de Gobierno, nuevos retratos se hicieron para reflejar los nuevos papeles desempeñados por la primera reina madre de los Habsburgo españoles: Mariana de Austria.
Los pintores de la corte vuelven a retratos anteriores para representar las nuevas funciones de la monarca donde desaparecen todos aquellos elementos relacionados con el poder y destacan la subordinación de la reina a su hijo.
Solamente cuando una nueva reina consorte llega a la corte, María Luisa de Orleans (1680), se exploraran nuevas formulas de representación de la reina madre, entre los pintores que la retratan durante este tiempo está Claudio Coello.

Los retratos de las reinas portuguesas o de las reinas españolas repre-sentaban las sutilezas de su estado a través de su vestimenta, joyas, etc… así como de motios más amplios relacionados con la representa-ción de circunstancias específicas como son las del ceremonial de ca-da corte. Consecuentemente, las reinas de las diferentes dinastías se representaban de modo correlativamente diferente. Un estudio compa-rativo diacrónico permite observar la evolución de invariantes y varia-ciones de la representación, lo que aporta materiales significativos para la comprensión sistemática del sentido y el valor histórico cultural de la retratística real ibérica en el marco más general del estudio de las for-mas de la reprsentción occidental. Dentro del Programa MOSTRA ES-PANHA 2019 y en colaboración con el Museu Nacional de Arte Antiga, se presenta, bajo el comité científico formado por Annemarie Jordan y Mercedes LLorente, un simposio hispanoluso de historia del arte que a partir de diferentes estudios sobre los retratos de las reinas españoles y portuguesas discute y analiza la construcción y evolución de la repre-sentación real del siglo XVI a la primera mitad del siglo XVII mediante la participación de expertos en la materia.
