This engraving, titled "Mary, Queen of Scots," was created by William Ridley in 1799. It is a portrait of the Queen of Scots, based on a painting by Donaldson. The image is presented in an oval frame and depicts Mary in profile, facing left. Ridley's engraving is a delicate and detailed work, showcasing the Queen's elegant attire and the delicate features of her face. This print was published by Verner & Hood, reflecting the popular interest in historical figures during the late 18th century. It is now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
