EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning portrait captures the essence of a lady from the Jacobean era, possibly Elizabeth, Countess of Kellie. Painted by Paul van Somer around 1619-20, this oil on canvas print showcases the opulence and grandeur associated with aristocracy during that time. The lady in the portrait exudes elegance as she sits upon a sumptuous throne adorned with intricate lace and a regal collar. Her head is adorned with a tiara fit for royalty, emphasizing her noble status. A parrot perches delicately on her hand, symbolizing her love for exotic pets. In one hand, she holds an ornate fan, while in the other she clutches a bible - perhaps representing her devotion to both worldly pleasures and spiritual matters. The lady's attire is resplendent with pearls and jewels, including a magnificent pearl necklace that cascades down her chest. Every detail in this painting speaks volumes about luxury and refinement. The artist has masterfully captured not only the physical beauty but also the inner strength and grace of this mysterious lady. Displayed at Yale Center for British Art as part of their prestigious Paul Mellon Collection, this portrait serves as a testament to the skillful craftsmanship of Flemish artistry during that period. It invites viewers into an enchanting world where wealth meets sophistication – an exquisite glimpse into history through fine art.
