EDITORS COMMENTS
This double-sided cameo portrait of Sir Christopher Hatton, created around 1590, is a stunning example of English Renaissance art. The obverse side features a meticulously carved three-quarter view portrait bust of Sir Christopher Hatton himself. He is depicted wearing a plumed beret, an elegant ruff collar, and an intricately decorated tunic. The attention to detail in capturing his likeness is truly remarkable. On the reverse side of the cameo, we see a beautifully carved hind standing in a naturalistic landscape. This delicate portrayal adds depth and symbolism to the piece, showcasing the artist's skill in rendering both human and animal subjects. The cameo is encased in a gold rope-twisted mount with a suspension loop for easy display. Although it comes with some damages to its velvet-lined shagreen case, this does not diminish its overall beauty and historical significance. Sir Christopher Hatton was an influential figure during the Elizabethan era and served as Lord Chancellor under Queen Elizabeth I. This exquisite portrait captures his regal presence and showcases the artistic talent of the Northern Renaissance period. Now part of a private collection, this rare print offers us a glimpse into England's rich cultural heritage from centuries past. Its intricate craftsmanship makes it an invaluable treasure for art enthusiasts and historians alike.
