The Tragic Stuart Queen

Henrietta Maria HN4260 honors the French princess who became Queen consort of England as wife of the ill-fated King Charles I. This elegant figurine captures her in royal Stuart court dress, representing one of history's most dramatic royal periods leading to the English Civil War.

Design Excellence: Valerie Annand's masterful portrayal shows Henrietta Maria in sumptuous 17th-century court dress, reflecting the opulence of Stuart royal fashion before the Civil War changed everything.
