Henrietta Maria, Queen of Charles I

Balthasar Moncornet (publisher)

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a portrait of a woman from the chest up, facing forward with a slight turn of her head to the left. She has a composed expression, full lips, and almond-shaped eyes. Her hair is styled in a voluminous manner with curls framing her face and a decorative element enhancing the style. She wears an ornate dress with intricate patterns and lace details around the neckline. A series of rounded pearls decorate her chest, and she wears a double-strand pearl necklace with a drop pendant. The portrait is set within an elaborate decorative frame featuring curved lines, facial motifs, and floral embellishments. Surrounding the frame, text in script form names Henriette Marie as a queen blessed by divine grace.
