Mary, Queen of Scots is a 1628 ink by Crispyn van den Queboorn, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This is a black-and-white portrait of a woman with a serious expression. She’s wearing a high collar and a patterned ruff around her neck. The background is plain, but the edges of the oval frame have text around it, like "REGINA" and "MARIA STUART." The artist used fine lines to create shadows and texture, especially in her hair and collar. This kind of detailed line work is called cross-hatching.
