EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait, titled "Dorothy Huddelston (nee Dormer), 1594" is a stunning oil on canvas masterpiece by the renowned artist Nicholas Hilliard. The painting, which forms part of the Huddleston Collection at St. Edmunds College in Cambridge, UK, showcases the elegant and dignified figure of Dorothy Dormer. Dorothy Dormer, born in 1577 to noble parents Robert Dormer and Elizabeth Browne, exudes an air of loyalty and faithfulness in this exquisite artwork. As a Roman Catholic during the Elizabethan era, she faced numerous challenges due to her religious beliefs but remained steadfast in her devotion. The artist skillfully captures Dorothy's regal presence through her full-length portrait adorned with a magnificent ruff collar that was fashionable during that time. Her gaze reflects both strength and vulnerability as she stands proudly before us. Notably, Dorothy's life took an unexpected turn when her husband Henry Huddleston became implicated in the infamous Gunpowder Plot of 1605. Undeterred by adversity, she courageously pleaded for his favor with Lord Salisbury while also seeking permission to visit him in Marshalsea Prison. This painting serves as a testament to Dorothy's unwavering loyalty and love for her husband amidst challenging circumstances. It immortalizes her resilience and determination during one of England's most tumultuous periods.
