Summary
DescriptionMary, Queen of Scotland, legitimist pretender to England, Ireland and France (crop).jpg
"Mary, Queen of Scots in captivity". This portrait is one of the many portraits of the queen of Scots during her captivity in England. They are known as "Sheffield portraits" and have the painted date 1578. Actually, they are apocryphal paintings painted in the XVII century during the reign of James I. Thery are called "Sheffield portraits" and have the date 1578 because they were inspired by an original and contemporary portrait of Queen Mary painted by Nicholas Hilliard when she was at Sheffield House in 1578. Besides this version of the Sheffield Portrait, other famous versions are those of the London National Portrait Gallery, of the private collection of Lord Chesham at Latimer, of Hardwick Hall.
