Siries was talented in several genres, but established herself as a famous portraitist. She succeeded in gaining the patronage of the Medici family[1] and their financial partners the Gondi family in Florence after the death of Giovanna Fratellini (1731) and travelled to Rome and Vienna to execute commissions.
Her most ambitious work was a fourteen figure family group of the emperor Charles VI, the father of Maria Theresa of Austria (1735), and three of her self-portraits are preserved in the Uffizi Gallery. In later life Siries became a respected teacher and her pupils included Anna Bacherini Piattoli.
