Mary, Queen of Scots 1771 - 1835

This engraving, created by Thomas Milton between 1771 and 1835, depicts Mary, Queen of Scots. The artwork, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, features an oval portrait of Mary within a wreath of leaves, with two figures flanking her. The figures, holding up a drapery, seem to represent history as they frame a scene of a battle below. The engraving's intricate details and use of linework create a sense of depth and historical significance, capturing the essence of Mary, Queen of Scots, a key figure in Scottish and English history.
