This 1874 photograph by Julia Margaret Cameron, titled "Queen Henrietta Maria," showcases Cameron's signature style of Pre-Raphaelite portraiture. Cameron, known for her dramatic use of light and soft focus, depicts a woman in a regal pose surrounded by two children. The composition and dramatic lighting, typical of Cameron's work, create a sense of ethereal beauty and evoke the mood of a classical painting. "Queen Henrietta Maria" is a striking example of Cameron's ability to elevate the medium of photography into a fine art form.
