Henrietta Maria and Three Princesses is a 1850 ink by Unknown 19th Century, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This engraving shows a woman in a long, fancy dress holding a fan, standing behind a table. Three children stand in front of her—two girls and a boy—all dressed in old-fashioned clothes. The woman’s robe has intricate patterns, and the scene looks like it’s inside a room with a curtain above her head. The text at the bottom names the woman and the children, listing their birth and death dates. The style looks formal and detailed, typical of prints from long ago.
