ATTRIBUTED TO ADRIAEN HANNEMAN (c.1603-1671) PORTRAIT OF MARY, PRINCESS ROYAL AND PRINCESS OF ORANGE (1631-1660), AS DIANA Half length, wearing a gauzy gown and feathered hat, holding a bow and arrow, a quiver of arrows behind her, oil on canvas 79.5 x 62cm. * Hendrick Danckerts's engraving of a detail of this subject dates from 1646 when Princess Mary was fifteen (British Museum). The plate, one of his earliest subjects, must have been engraved in the Netherlands as Danckerts did not visit England until 1650. Princess Mary, the eldest daughter of Charles I and Henrietta Maria, married Prince William in London in 1641, when she was aged just nine and he fifteen. Witnesses reported her being in tears throughout the ceremony, unwilling to wed a young prince whom she barely knew at such an age. Mary died of smallpox on Christmas Eve, 1660, aged 29. The whereabouts of Hanneman's original are not known.
