Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 100 years or fewer.

You must also include a United States public domain tag to indicate why this work is in the public domain in the United States.
This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.
The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".

According to Blanche Payne's "History of Costume" (1st edition), this is from ca. 1694. She is holding a folded-up fan.

NB: See https://collections.vam.ac.uk/item/O78240/mezzotint-maria-dg-angliae-scotiae-franciae/ for up-to-date and accurate information on this image, which dates from 1688 (engraving published 1690s) and is based on a portrait by Jan van der Vaart rather than one by Kneller.
