The Mezzotint Man has dated this piece to the 18th Century.
Fine and diminutive mezzotint portrait of Mary of Modena Queen of Great Britain (1638 - 1705)
The monarch is depicted bust length in semi-circular niche with titles and dates below.
Roman Catholic Queen of James II and only daughter of Alfonso IV, Duke of Modena, Mary intended to enter a convent until her marriage with James (1673). She then dedicated herself to the conversion of England, but her support of her husband's pro-Catholic policies made her unpopular. The fear of a Catholic succession to the throne, caused by the birth of their son James Francis Edward in 1688, led to the invitation of William of Orange to England.
