Edmund Lilly was a portrait painter favoured by Queen Anne. Many of his full-length portraits of the Queen were reproduced for members of the nobility. This portrait, staged with an impressive setting and fine clothing, depicts Anne as queen and ruler. She was the final Stuart monarch and was instrumental in bringing about the Act of Union in 1707, which created Great Britain, by uniting England and Scotland.
