He trained under his father, Joseph Werner the Elder, before continuing his apprenticeship in Frankfurt and then in Rome. His talent quickly earned him the favor of the great European courts. He worked for the entourage of Louis XIV and also spent time at the Swedish court, where he painted several portraits of the royal family. This portrait depicts Hedwig-Eleonora of Holstein-Gottorp, daughter of Duke Frederick III and Marie-Elisabeth of Saxony. In 1654, she married Charles X Gustav of Sweden and became queen consort. Widowed in 1660, she played a prominent role at the court in Stockholm during the reigns of her son Charles XI and her grandson Charles XII.
