Jonas Suyderhoef's "Portret van Maria Henrietta Stuart" is a black and white engraving depicting Maria Henrietta Stuart, the eldest daughter of King Charles I of England. Completed in 1689, the engraving features a detailed portrait of the subject, framed within an ornate oval border decorated with delicate foliage. The inscription below the portrait identifies her as "Augusta Maria Caroli Magne, Brit. Et Hib. Regis Filia Primogenita, Fili Aur. Nat. Princi.
