Mary, Queen of Scots NPG D13137

© National Portrait Gallery, London

after an engraving by Franz Huys

Mary's father, James V of Scotland, died on 14 December 1542, and Mary, at just six days old, succeeded to the Scottish throne. She spent most of her childhood in France, while her mother Mary of Guise ruled as Regent of Scotland. Frans Huys's print, published in Antwerp while Mary was in France, was not made from life, but was probably based on contemporary coins that showed her head in profile.

Card size: 125mm x 175mm
