Henrietta Maria on Horseback is a 1641 ink by Pierre Daret de Cazeneuve, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This black-and-white engraving shows a woman riding a horse. She wears a wide-brimmed hat, a ruffled collar, and a long dress with a belt. The horse is detailed, with reins and a saddle. Behind her, small scenes show people in a garden and a landscape. The text at the bottom names her as "Henrietta Maria, Queen of Great Britain." The artist used fine lines to create shadows and textures, like on her dress and the horse’s mane. Check out how the artist used cross-hatching to make the image look three-dimensional.
Pierre Daret de Cazeneuve (1604–1678) was an artist.
