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 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,[1] whilst the right-facing profile is probably the portrait of the queen now in the Memphis Brooks Museum of Art.
