Henrietta Maria (?)

Unknown Artist

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a portrait of a person shown from the waist up, positioned facing slightly to the right but looking directly at the viewer. The person has a calm expression with delicate facial features. Their hair is mostly covered by a veil with some strands visible. They wear an ornate garment with a high collar, puffed sleeves, a crown, a beaded necklace, and hoop earrings. They hold a scepter or staff in one hand. The background is an intricately shaded interior space with draped fabric surrounding the central figure, bordered by an oval frame.
