This engraving, created by Dutch artist Jacob Houbraken between 1736 and 1738, depicts Mary, Queen of Scots. The portrait is framed within an ornate oval, with a cherubic figure holding a drapery at the upper left corner. Below the oval is a smaller scene illustrating a historical event, likely from Mary, Queen of Scots' life. Houbraken's engraving, a fine example of 18th-century printmaking, is currently part of the Rijksmuseum collection in Amsterdam.
