Henrietta of England, also known as Henrietta Anne Stuart (1644-1670), was a notable figure in 17th-century European aristocracy, renowned for her beauty, intelligence, and political influence. Born to King Charles I of England and Queen Henrietta Maria, she was the youngest daughter of the royal couple. Her life was marked by the turbulence of the English Civil War, during which her family faced significant upheaval. Following the execution of her father in 1649, Henrietta and her mother fled to France, where they sought refuge at the court of her maternal uncle, King Louis XIV.

In 1661, Henrietta married Philippe I, Duke of Orléans (1640-1701), the younger brother of Louis XIV. This union was both a political alliance and a personal relationship, though it was often fraught with tension due to Philippe's openly homosexual relationships and Henrietta's own romantic entanglements. Despite these challenges, Henrietta played a crucial role in the diplomatic affairs of the time, particularly in fostering the secret Treaty of Dover in 1670, which sought to align England and France against the Dutch Republic.

The painting "Henrietta of England 1644-70 holding a portrait of her husband Philippe I 1640-1701 duc d'Orleans" by Theodorus Netscher captures the essence of Henrietta's dual identity as both a devoted wife and a significant political figure. Theodorus Netscher, a Dutch painter known for his detailed and delicate portraits, skillfully portrays Henrietta's grace and poise. In the painting, Henrietta is depicted holding a portrait of her husband, Philippe I, symbolizing her connection to the French royal family and her role in the intricate web of European politics.

The artwork not only highlights Henrietta's personal life but also serves as a testament to her enduring legacy. Her early death at the age of 26 was a significant loss to the courts of both England and France. Nevertheless, her influence persisted through her children and the political alliances she helped to forge. The painting remains a poignant reminder of her brief yet impactful life, encapsulating the elegance and complexity of a woman who navigated the treacherous waters of 17th-century aristocracy with remarkable aplomb.
