There are two versions of the portrait: a painting that is now in the Victoria and Albert Museum, London (acc. no. 625-1882), and a very similar miniature, also painted by François Clouet, now in the Royal Collection, Windsor (RCIN 401229).
In the portrait, Mary is depicted wearing a pale red bodice decorated with applied pearls in small triangles and silver coloured braids that outline slits in the bodice of Mary’s gown. The (masculine) upright collar derives from a Spanish fashion of the period that was popular in France.
