Coat of Arms -- Mary, Queen of Scots is a 1675 ink by Unknown 19th Century, a Baroque work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows a black-and-white coat of arms with two lions standing on either side of a crown. Above the crown are two shields with symbols, and the whole design is framed by ornate scrollwork. Below the crest, there’s Latin text in a decorative font. The text names *Mary, Queen of Scots*, and the style looks old-fashioned, like something printed long ago. The lions and crowns were common symbols for royalty back then. If you like this kind of detailed design, check out etching to see how artists create these crisp lines.
