Triple Portrait of Henrietta Maria
The Triple Portrait of Henrietta Maria is a 1638 painting by Antony [van Dyck] showing Henrietta Maria, wife of Charles I of England. Charles had previously commissioned van Dyck to produce Triple [portrait of Charles I|a triple portrait of himself] to send to Italy so that Bernini could produce a bust of him. When the bust arrived, the queen ordered a bust of herself by Bernini and commissioned van Dyck to produce a similar triple portrait. The left-facing profile and full-on view are in the Royal Collection, whilst the right-facing profile is probably the portrait of the queen now in the Memphis Brooks Museum of Art.
