Cassandra Austen's "Mary Queen of Scots," circa 1790, is a notable example of amateur portraiture from the late 18th century. Cassandra Austen, primarily known as the elder sister of the famed novelist Jane Austen, was an accomplished artist in her own right, though she never pursued art professionally. This particular work is a testament to her skill and interest in historical figures, as it depicts Mary, Queen of Scots, a figure of enduring fascination and tragic legacy in British history.

The portrait captures Mary Stuart, who reigned over Scotland from 1542 to 1567, in a manner that reflects the romanticized view of her life and times prevalent in the 18th century. While the exact details of the painting's creation are not well-documented, it is believed that Cassandra Austen drew inspiration from existing portraits and engravings of Mary, Queen of Scots, which were widely circulated during that period. The painting is characterized by its delicate brushwork and attention to detail, particularly in the depiction of Mary's regal attire and the melancholic expression that hints at her tumultuous life.

Cassandra Austen's artistic endeavors, including this portrait, were largely influenced by the cultural milieu of her time, which saw a resurgence of interest in historical and romantic subjects. Although her works were not widely known or exhibited during her lifetime, they provide valuable insights into the artistic practices and domestic life of the Austen family. "Mary Queen of Scots" stands as a significant piece within Cassandra's oeuvre, reflecting both her personal artistic talent and the broader historical and cultural currents of the late 18th century.
