Mary, Queen of Scots -- Charles J. Andres

painted for Margery Hale Sutton of West Roxbury, Massachusetts

Margery H. Sutton, joined a local tourist club. Besides traveling, they would gather to discuss historical events. Members would be assigned a subject, and be expected to do much research and eventually do a presentation. Marmie felt inadqeuate, with little training. Mr. Andres painted Mary for his mother-in-law to bolster her confidence by complementing her talk. The painting remained in her house in West Roxbury until she died in 1986 at the age of 95.
