Mary, Queen of Scots

Charles David

National Gallery of Art

The image shows an engraving of a woman depicted from the waist up, positioned at an angle with her left hand resting on a surface. Her facial features include a serene expression with slightly downturned eyes and a firm-set mouth. Her hair is styled under a decorative cap adorned with lace, and a high lace ruff surrounds her neck. The woman wears a richly detailed, long-sleeved gown with intricate patterns and a structured bodice. A cross-shaped piece of jewelry hangs from her neck, and lace details adorn her sleeves. The background features draped fabric. The text below the image reads "MARIA SCOTORUM REGINA."
