Portrait Friday
Last Friday we looked at Charles II (and his great shoes!). This week we have his niece, Queen Mary II, who was born on this day in 1662 (and her gorgeous gray and blue dress!). I do love Restoration-era fashions...
What a lovely portrait of Mary II. I've always liked her. It's too bad that she had to share the throne with her husband William, a man who had a mistress who squinted.

LOL! Nothing worse than a squinty mistress
