This lithograph by Delpech, created between 1835-1845, depicts Mary, Queen of Scots. The portrait showcases Mary in a contemplative mood, her gaze directed towards the viewer. She wears a dark gown with a white ruff and a veil, her hair styled in a fashionable updo. The meticulous detail of the clothing and accessories is characteristic of the 19th-century lithographic style, which prioritized realism and capturing fine details. The artwork is currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
