"Mary, Queen of Scots in White Mourning" is a portrait by the French Renaissance painter François Clouet, depicting the Scottish monarch Mary Stuart (1542–1587) during her period of mourning. The painting is believed to have been created in the 16th century, likely after the death of Mary's first husband, King Francis II of France, in 1560. Clouet, who served as the court painter to Francis II and later to Charles IX, was renowned for his detailed and delicate portraits of the French nobility.

The artwork captures Mary, Queen of Scots, in a state of bereavement, dressed in white mourning attire, which was traditionally worn by French queens during the mourning period. White, the color of royal mourning in France, symbolizes both purity and grief, reflecting the dual nature of Mary's status as a widow and a queen. The portrait is notable for its emotional depth and the subtle rendering of textures and fabrics, characteristic of Clouet's masterful technique.

While the exact location of the original painting is not well-documented, the portrait of Mary in white mourning has been referenced in historical accounts and is considered an important work in the study of royal iconography. It offers insights into the customs of the time and the personal history of Mary, Queen of Scots, whose life was marked by political intrigue and tragedy.

The portrait is also significant for its influence on the visual representation of Mary Stuart in art and popular culture. It has been reproduced and interpreted in various forms, contributing to the enduring legacy of Mary, Queen of Scots, as a figure of fascination and romanticization in history and art.
