"This portrait was bought by Queen Victoria as a portrait of <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Portrait_paintings_of_Mary_I_of_England" title="Category:Portrait paintings of Mary I of England">Mary I</a>. The later suggestion that it represents <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Margaret_Douglas_Countess_of_Lennox" title="Category:Margaret Douglas Countess of Lennox">Margaret, Countess of Lennox</a> seems equally unlikely. The sitter is reprented wearing a black gown, with a white linen ruff, holding her gloves in her right hand and a red rose in her left. At her waist hangs a cameo in a rich jewelled setting and round her wrists are bracelets decorated with an armillary sphere."</div>
