H Beard Print Collection is a 1750 by John Keyse Sherwin, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This print shows Mary, Queen of Scots in a dark dress with a white ruff collar. Her gaze is steady, almost calm. The artist used fine lines to build up shadows and light. Look closely at her face. The lines around her eyes and mouth make her look tired but not sad. This is a print, so the artist carved the image onto a metal plate and then inked it. Check out the reverse side for notes on the bishop who owned this print. It’s in the Victoria and Albert Museum now.
The print depicts Mary, Queen of Scots, while the reverse side contains biographical details about George Isaac Huntingford.
