Collection of artefacts from the wedding expedition of Queen Anne Catherine Constance Vasa

Anna Catherine Constanza was the daughter of Sigismund III Vasa and the wife of Philip William. Her bridal expedition includes a tapestry with the initials ACCPPS (Anna Catharina Constanza Principessa Poloniae Sueciae), which is kept in the collection of the Residenz München. The Bayerische Staatsgemäldesammlungen contains another important work from this collection, the only full-page portrait of King Sigismund Augustus. Writing about this portrait, Jerzy T. Petrus notes that it "remains in connection with the miniature portrait of the monarch in bust, formerly in the collection of Archduke Ferdinand II of Tyrol in Ambras, now in the Münzenkabinett at the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna. Both paintings, by the same author, were created at the Polish court just before the middle of the 16th century. Their creator was well acquainted with the portrait compositions used in Italy at the time, which were highly regarded."

The Bavarian collections also include a portrait of, among others, Anna Katherine Constance Vasa from 1648, i.e. painted six years after the wedding and not part of the wedding expedition , by Johann Spilberg (oil on canvas, inv . no. 6728 (Neuburg Castle), Bavarian State Collection of Paintings.
