Henrietta Maria, Queen of Charles I

Jerome David

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a woman seated side-saddle on a horse. She is gazing at the viewer with a composed expression. Her hair is styled in curls, with a braid falling over her shoulder. She wears a wide-brimmed hat with feathers, a dress with puffed sleeves and lace details, and holds a fan and a flower. The horse is mid-step, with braided mane, against a backdrop of hills, clouds, and birds in flight.
