An engraving of Frances Stuart (née Howard, 1578–1639). She was married to Henry Prannell 1591–99, Edward Seymour, Earl of Hertford 1601–21, and Ludovick Stuart, Duke of Richmond and Lennox 1621–4. A three-quarter length portrait, coronet and jewelled spray in her hair, close lace ruff; her right hand on the back of the chair, her left hand on an open book inscribed 'Constantia coronat'; frontispiece to Smith's 'History of Virginia' (1624). This print is lettered along the bottom: "The portraiture of the illustreous Princesse Frances Duchess of Richmond … / whose mother was Elisabeth daughter of Edward Duke of Buckingham. // Anno 1623 insculptum a Guilh: Passeo Londinum.".

The print formed part of an album of portrait prints assembled by Cassiano and his younger brother Carlo Antonio dal Pozzo in Rome. Described in an early nineteenth-century inventory of prints in George III's library as Heads of English illustrious Personages, the album was dismantled later in the nineteenth century and incorporated into the sequences of British portrait prints in the collection.
