Portrait of Mary Stuart 1660 - 1708

This etching, created by Dutch artist Romeyn de Hooghe between 1660 and 1708, depicts Mary Stuart, Queen of Scots, in a regal pose. The image shows Mary standing in a lush garden, her hand resting on a stone balustrade, with a decorative fountain in the background. The detailed depiction of her attire and elaborate hairstyle reflects the fashion of the 17th century. The print, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, serves as a testament to the artist's skill in capturing both the grandeur and the tragic beauty of this historical figure.
