Queen Mary I is a 1850 ink by Unknown 19th Century, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This black-and-white engraving shows a woman dressed in old-fashioned royal clothes. She wears a crown, a long dress with slits on the sides, and a tight-fitting jacket over a ruffled collar. Her hands rest on the front of her dress, and her face looks serious but calm. The background is simple, with a small ledge at the bottom holding a scroll of text in Latin. The artist used fine lines to create shadows and details, giving the image a textured look. Want to see how this style works? Look up engraving.
