"Mary, Queen of Scots" is an engraving by Robert Cooper, dating back to the early 19th century. The portrait depicts Mary, Queen of Scots, in a formal pose, wearing a ruff and a dark gown. The piece showcases the artist's skill in capturing detail and portraying the queen's somber expression, reflecting her turbulent life and eventual execution. This print, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, exemplifies the popularity of historical figures in portraiture during the Romantic era.
