Mary, Queen of Scots is a 1619 ink by Charles David, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white portrait of a woman in fancy 1600s clothes. She wears a high collar with ruffles, a dark dress, and a pearl necklace. Her hair is pulled back under a hat, and she holds a fan in one hand. The background looks like a curtain or cloth, with a few small details like a book and a flower. The name at the bottom reads *Maria Scotorum Regina*, which means she’s likely a queen from Scotland. The artist’s signature is small in the corner.
