Antique Queen Henrietta Maria Miniature Cameo Portrait Painting by Aime Perret

About the Item

Antique miniature portrait painting of Queen Henrietta Maria by the French artist Aime Perret. Young Henrietta is painted in a blue dress with white lace collar and brown curls. Signed along right side. Set in a Louis XV brass frame and matted in silk brocade. Circa late 19th Century Aime Perret (1847-1927) was active and live in France. She is known for figure, genre and landscape paintings. Henrietta Maria (French: Henriette Marie; 25 November 1609 – 10 September 1669) was Queen of England, Scotland, and Ireland from her marriage to King Charles I on 13 June 1625 until Charles was executed on 30 January 1649. She was mother of his two immediate successors, Charles II and James II and VII. Contemporaneously, by a decree of her husband, she was known in England as Queen Mary, but she did not like this name and signed her letters "Henriette R" or "Henriette Marie R" (the "R" standing for regina, Latin for "queen".) Henrietta Maria's Roman Catholicism made her unpopular in England, and also prohibited her from being crowned in a Church of England service; therefore, she never had a coronation. She immersed herself in national affairs as civil war loomed, and in 1644, following the birth of her youngest daughter, Henrietta, during the height of the First English Civil War, was compelled to seek refuge in France. The execution of Charles I in 1649 left her impoverished. She settled in Paris and returned to England after the Restoration of Charles II to the throne. In 1665, she moved back to Paris, where she died four years later. The North American Province of Maryland, a major haven for Roman Catholic settlers, was named in honor of Queen Henrietta Maria. The name was carried over into the current U.S. state of Maryland. Measures: 4.25” x 0.5” x 6.25” / sans frame - 2.5” x 3.25” (width x depth x height).
