The pose and dress of this three-quarter-length portrait of King Charles’ wife, standing slightly left with hands clasped in front, holding roses and wearing a pinkish dress trimmed with muslin, are a retrospective simplification from Van Dyck's Barberini portrait of the Queen, of 1635. However, it is a unique image. The realistic looking building, at the far end of a paved courtyard, or piazza, in the background, with some similarity to the Belvedere in Prague, has not been identified; it corresponds to no known structure built in England, nor does it seem to record one in the sitter's native France. It is similar to the structure in the background of Paul van Somer's portrait of Henrietta Maria's deceased mother-in-law, Anne of Denmark, painted at the age of 44 in 1618 in the Royal Collection but also reflects the influence of Steenwyck the Younger, who was in London from 1617 until after 1637.
