Charles I and Henrietta Maria

Various artists/makers

Not on view

Hollar etched these portraits of the king and queen
of England on a single copper plate. Impressions such as this, showing the royal couple together, are rare; the plate was later cut to create two separate portraits, presumably due to the queen's unpopularity in England. (On this impression, the spelling of her name has been corrected from "Henrica" to "Henrietta" in ink.) .
