This 1825 lithograph by Pietro Rolandi depicts Mary, Queen of Scots, a prominent figure in Scottish and English history. The print is based on an original painting in the Bodleian Library, Oxford. Mary's portrait captures her regal bearing, emphasizing her elaborate costume with a wide ruff and a jeweled necklace. The detailed rendering of her features and clothing, alongside the inscription, make this print a valuable historical artifact. It exemplifies the popularity of historical figures in 19th-century art.
