Could that be a French crown? As a nod to Queen Mary’s brief tenure as Queen Consort of France? It doesn’t look like the crown of Scotland, which survives today in the same form.

It does not look like a French crown or the Scottish crown. Mary is dressed as a widow that would make it odd to depict her as the widow of a French king when she was a Queen-regnant in her own right in Scotland and if you follow her claims also in England and Ireland.
i agree with you Cynthia it probably was an artist's impression of a Queen regnant but not of a particular crown.

Or it was the artist's imagination.
