Formerly attributed to Jacopo da Trezzo (d. 1589), the present, delicately carved double portrait cameo depicts sitters traditionally identified as Philip II of Spain and his first wife Maria of Portugal. Philip and Maria were double first cousins in that they shared all four grandparents in common. Their marriage lasted from 1543-45, when Maria gave birth to a son, Carlos, but died from complications of the birth. Philip would go on to have another three wives, one of whom was Mary Tudor, which meant that for the duration of their marriage he was also King of England.
It seems unlikely that the present cameo could ever have been executed by da Trezzo, as he only came to Madrid from his native Italy in the mid 1550s, when Philip was already married to Mary Tudor. There is, however, a portrait attributed to da Trezzo of Philip II alone, which is now in the Royal Collection of His Majesty Charles III (see Piacenti and Boardman, loc. cit.). A double cameo portrait of Philip and his father, the Emperor Charles V, by Leone Leoni, is today in the Metropolitan Museum, New York (acc. no. 38.150.9).
