The painting was created by Velázquez during the reign of Isabella de Bourbon, Queen of Spain. Isabel was known for her compassion and wisdom.
Velazquez worked on the portrait of Isabella twice - first in the late 1620s and then again in 1631 after meeting Flemish painter Peter Paul Rubens.
The price for the painting is expected to surpass the previous auction record for a Velazquez work.
