"Portrait of Queen Mary I" is a painting attributed to the English School, a term used to describe works produced by unknown or various artists in England. This particular portrait depicts Mary I of England, also known as Mary Tudor, who reigned as queen from 1553 to 1558. Born on February 18, 1516, she was the daughter of King Henry VIII and his first wife, Catherine of Aragon. Mary's accession to the throne was significant as she was the first queen regnant of England.

The painting is a half-length portrait that captures Queen Mary I in regal attire, reflecting her status and authority as the monarch. Her garments and accessories are typically rendered with meticulous attention to detail, indicative of her wealth and the fashion of the Tudor court. The portrait is likely to have been commissioned to project her image as a sovereign and to assert her legitimacy, especially given the tumultuous nature of her ascent to the throne following the short-lived reign of Lady Jane Grey.

The exact date of the painting's creation is uncertain, but it is presumed to have been produced during Mary's reign or shortly thereafter, capturing her in the later years of her life. The portrait is an important historical artifact, providing insight into the iconography of Tudor monarchy and the representation of female power in a period dominated by male rulers.

As with many works from the English School, the artist behind the "Portrait of Queen Mary I" remains anonymous, and the painting's provenance may be difficult to trace. Nevertheless, the portrait holds significant value for its artistic and historical merits, offering a visual narrative of Mary I's persona and the aesthetics of 16th-century English portraiture.
