Mary Stuart, Queen of Scots

Francesco Hayez

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a portrait of a person from the shoulders up. The person is facing forward with their head slightly tilted downward and eyes closed. They have a serene expression with delicate bone structure, soft eyebrows, and a distinctive jawline. The person has dark hair styled neatly under a decorative crown and a headpiece that comes to a point at the center of their forehead. They are wearing an ornate garment with a high, lace-trimmed collar. The background is a textured oval of shaded graphite that accentuates the figure.
