Description: | Black and white engraving of an oval bust portrait of Mary Queen of Scots, with an internal frame and plaque with a crown on top of the stand. There are thistles around the lower part of the internal frame.
"This is one of a large number of images of the Stuart dynasty in general in the university collection. These images attest to Stuart Royal patronage of King's College and later to the prolonged Jacobite sympathies of both King's and Marischal Colleges. In particular there are a large number of images, particularly engravings, of Mary, reflecting her role as one of the cast of 'hero' figures from Scottish history in whom much of nineteenth century Scottish identity was invested. The portrait on which the engraving is based may be the copy thought to be after Federigo Zuccaro (1543-1609) now in Glasgow Kelvingrove AG. The original image may be from the life, though the attribution to Zuccarro is debatable. See 31408"
