Drawing of Mary Queen of Scots as Queen of France in widows dress by Francois Clouet (before 1522-1572). From this drawing are derived various portraits in oil. In this she is wearing white morning habit. The “deuil blanc” consists of a wired cap fitting tight around the hood, and pressed down on the flat crown of the head so as to leave space above the ears for the hair to show in bunches of curls. |
