EDITORS COMMENTS
Caption: "In this exquisite vellum print, we are transported to a bygone era as we gaze upon the captivating visage of Henry Percy, 9th Earl of Northumberland. Painted by the renowned artist Nicholas Hilliard between 1590 and 1595, this miniature portrait captures the essence of nobility and elegance that defined the Elizabethan period. The earl is depicted in a poetic and fantastical garden setting, his eyes gazing into the distance as if lost in dreams. His noble stature is accentuated by his regal attire and gloves held delicately in one hand. The walled trees surrounding him create an intimate space for reflection and contemplation. This remarkable artwork showcases Hilliard's mastery in capturing intricate details on such a small scale. Every brushstroke reveals the artist's skillful technique, bringing life to every strand of hair and wrinkle on Lord Northumberland's face. As we admire this stunning piece from Amsterdam's Rijksmuseum collection, it serves as a reminder of an era when artistry flourished under aristocratic patronage. This print not only immortalizes Lord Northumberland but also transports us back to a time when beauty was celebrated through these miniature masterpieces. "
