Mary, Queen of Scots was executed at Fotheringhay Castle on this day in 1587. In this emotive watercolour by the 14 year old Princess Victoria (eldest daughter of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert), Mary is imagined in the moments before her execution bidding farewell to her gaoler Sir Amias Paulet, whilst in the background her female attendants weep.

The Princess Royal was definitely artistic and talented, even at a very young age.
