Mary, Queen of Scots 1735 - 1765

This mezzotint, created by Robert Strange between 1735 and 1765, depicts Mary, Queen of Scots, in a close-up portrait. Mary is shown wearing a white lace collar and a red and gold gown, her hair styled in a low bun. The image is framed by a circular border, set against a pale blue background. This work is a prime example of the technical mastery of Robert Strange, a renowned engraver known for his meticulous detail and ability to capture the likeness of his subjects. The artwork can be found at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
