"Henrietta Maria - A Head And Shoulders Portrait" is a notable work by Sir Peter Lely, a prominent painter of the 17th century who became the leading portraitist in England during the reign of Charles II. This painting is a representation of Henrietta Maria of France, the queen consort of England, Scotland, and Ireland as the wife of King Charles I. Lely, born Pieter van der Faes, was renowned for his ability to capture the elegance and sophistication of his subjects, which included members of the nobility and the burgeoning merchant class.

The portrait is a head and shoulders depiction of Henrietta Maria, showcasing the typical features of Lely's work, such as a soft and naturalistic rendering of the face, a relaxed pose, and the use of light to emphasize the sitter's delicate features and rich attire. Henrietta Maria is often portrayed in a sympathetic light, reflecting her tumultuous life, which included the execution of her husband and the exile of her son, Charles II, before his restoration to the throne.

Lely's portraits are characterized by their refined elegance and the subtle psychological insight he brought to his depictions of the English court and its figures. "Henrietta Maria - A Head And Shoulders Portrait" is no exception, capturing the queen's dignity and poise amidst the political turmoil of her time. The painting is a testament to Lely's skill in portraiture and his contribution to the visual documentation of the English monarchy.

This work is part of a larger body of portraits of the royal family and courtiers by Lely, which have been influential in shaping the perception of the Caroline court and the Restoration period. The painting is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical value, providing insight into the iconography of the British monarchy and the role of portraiture in 17th-century society.
