EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait, titled "Portrait of a girl of the de Ligne family, 1616" transports us back to the Jacobean era. Painted by Marcus Gheeraerts (attributed to), this oil on canvas print captures the essence of a young girl from the esteemed de Ligne family. Measuring at an impressive 93x77 cm, this artwork is one of a pair and belongs to a private collection. The subject's identity remains uncertain but it is believed that she may be one of Daniel de Ligne's children. Daniel was a refugee who sought sanctuary in England during the persecution led by the Duke of Alva. In recognition for his services, he was knighted by James I in 1620 and resided at Harlaxton Manor in Lincolnshire. The young girl depicted exudes an air of innocence and grace as she gazes directly at the viewer. Her attire reflects her noble lineage with delicate lace cuffs adorning her wrists and an intricately designed collar framing her face. She holds a fan delicately in her hand, adding an elegant touch to her ensemble. This exquisite piece offers us a glimpse into both historical context and artistic mastery. It serves as a testament to Gheeraerts' skillful technique in capturing not only physical likeness but also conveying emotion through his brushstrokes. A true treasure from English history, this portrait continues to captivate viewers with its timeless beauty.
