This 17th-century engraving by Henry Stuart, Lord Darnley, depicts a portrait of the artist himself, Lord Darnley, who was the second husband of Mary, Queen of Scots. Darnley is shown in an oval frame with the inscription "Henricus Scotorum Rex, De Arrnley Dominus," which translates to "Henry, King of the Scots, Lord of Darnley." The engraving, housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, showcases Darnley in elaborate attire with a feathered cap and a jeweled collar, befitting his royal status.
