Ý The best known portrait of Montrose is shown here. It was painted in 1649 by the great Flemish artist Honthorst not long after Montrose had heard of the execution of King Charles I. We can see the mood of Montrose now, the black armour, and the sombre, dark background of the picture. Montrose gave this portrait to Charles' aunt and daughter of King James VI/I, Elizabeth, Queen of Bohemia, sometimes known as "The Winter Queen", or "Queen of Hearts". The original now believed to reside in Brechin Castle.
