A three-quarter-length portrait of Queen Mary wearing her coronation robes and facing slightly to the left. She is surrounded by her regalia, her crown on the table to her right, and her right hand resting on the orb. Mary’s left hand holds the ermine on her skirt. Her costume is heavily jewelled and she is standing in front of rich brocade drapes. Mary was the eldest daughter of James, Duke of York, later James II, and she married Prince William of Orange in 1677. During the 1688 Revolution she supported her husband and Protestantism rather than her Catholic father. She succeeded to the throne in 1688, following the flight of her father, James II. Mary II reigned as joint sovereign with her husband, William of Orange, from 1689 to 1694.
