EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the engraving "La Triste Heritiere, Anne St John, Countess of Rochester" by Peter Lely. The artwork depicts Anne St John, a prominent figure in 17th century England and the widow of the esteemed Countess of Rochester. Dressed in a stunning mourning gown adorned with pearls and an exquisite necklace, she exudes elegance and poise. The portrait captures not only Anne's beauty but also her sorrow as she mourns the loss of her husband. The intricate details on her dress reflect the fashion trends of that era while symbolizing her status as a noblewoman. Peter Cunningham's book "The Story of Nell Gwyn and the Sayings of Charles the Second" features this illustration, adding historical context to this remarkable piece. It provides insight into the lives and relationships within British high society during this period. Through this photo print, we are transported back in time to witness a moment frozen in history. It is a testament to both Peter Lely's artistic talent and Anne St John's enduring legacy. This image serves as a reminder of Britain's rich cultural heritage and its influence on European art.
