This engraving by Johann Alexander Böner, created between 1655 and 1725, depicts Mary, Queen of Scots, in a formal portrait. The image shows her wearing a ruff collar and a cross, symbols of her royal status and religious devotion. The engraving is framed by a decorative border, highlighting the sitter's significance. "Maria Stuarta Regina Scot" - Latin for "Mary Stuart, Queen of Scots" - is inscribed beneath the image, making it clear the subject's identity. Böner's depiction of Mary, Queen of Scots, provides a glimpse into the visual representation of historical figures during the 17th century.
