EDITORS COMMENTS
Mary II, the daughter of James, Duke of York and his first wife Anne Hyde, was born on December 30, 1662, in St. James's Palace, London. At the age of 35, she ascended the English throne on February 13, 1688, following the Glorious Revolution, which deposed her father, King James II. Mary's reign, which lasted until her death in 1694, was marked by a period of political stability and religious tolerance. In this striking portrait, Mary II is depicted wearing an elegant necklace adorned with pearls, a fashionable accessory of the time. The intricate lace trimming of her neckline adds to the opulence of the image, reflecting the grandeur of the royal court. Mary's regal demeanor and confident gaze convey her strength and determination as a monarch. Mary II's reign was a significant moment in English history, marking the end of the Stuart dynasty and the beginning of the House of Hanover. Her reign was also notable for her marriage to William of Orange, who ruled jointly with her as King and Queen. Together, they worked to restore order and stability to the country following the turmoil of the previous years. This beautiful portrait of Mary II, taken from the extensive collection of historical images at Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the elegance and sophistication of the English court during the late 17th century. The intricate details of the lace neckline and the pearls of the necklace add to the visual appeal of the image, while the regal bearing of the subject reminds us of the important role she played in shaping the course of English history.
