Catherine of Braganza, Queen consort of England, Scotland, and Ireland, was born on November 25, 1638, in Vila Viçosa, Portugal. She married King Charles II of England in 1662 as part of a political alliance. As queen consort, Catherine faced challenges and criticisms due to her Catholic faith in a predominantly Protestant country. However, she played a significant role in the restoration of the monarchy in England and influenced the court culture of the time. Catherine of Braganza is also known for her love of tea, which she introduced to the English court. She also had an affinity for Portuguese customs and traditions. Her promotion of tea consumption in England eventually made it a national pastime. The dimensions of the painting without the frame are 120.5 x 91.4cm (47½ x 36in), including the frame 146.5cm x 118cm. There is minor age-related wear to the frame, as to be expected.
