Queen Mary II

John Simon after Jan van der Vaart 

This beautiful half length royal portrait of Queen Mary depicts her in a low velvet bodice edged with ermine and with jewels to her front and pearl clasps to her shoulders.

Mary and her husband William of Orange became monarchs of England and Scotland after the Glorious Revolution of 1688. A group of MPs and Peers wrote to William and Mary inviting them to England and take the throne ensuring the Protestant Succession. Queen Mary II and William III ruled as joint monarchs until Mary's death in 1694.
