This portrait is not of of "Maria von Hapsburg, daughter of Ferdinand III" but Maria von Hapsburg, daughter of Ferdinand I. This Maria married the Duke of Julich-Cleaves-Berg, brother of Anne of Cleves, Henry VIII's 4th queen. She lived from 1531 to 1581, and the clothing style of the sitter is more appropriate for that era than for the Maria daughter of Ferdinand III--she lived almost exactly a century later.
