This engraving by Georges Jacques Gatine depicts Mary, Queen of Scots, the Queen of France and Queen of Scotland, who was executed by her cousin Elizabeth I in 1587. The image depicts her in a gown with puffed sleeves and a high waist, popular in 16th century European fashion. This engraving, which is held by the Metropolitan Museum of Art, reflects the continued interest in Mary, Queen of Scots as a historical and cultural figure in 19th-century France.
