EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print showcases the elegant and enigmatic Elizabeth Fitzgerald, Countess of Lincoln. Painted by Stephen van der Meulen in 1632, this exquisite piece of art has been immortalized on paper through a meticulous process of watercolor and gouache. Elizabeth Fitzgerald, born around 1528, was not only known for her beauty but also for her influential position in the court of Queen Elizabeth I. As the wife of Edward Fiennes de Clinton, she held the title of Countess of Lincoln with grace and dignity. In this portrait, Elizabeth exudes an air of regality as she gazes confidently into the distance. Her fair complexion is accentuated by delicate embroidery adorning her gown while precious jewels adorn her neck and headdress. The intricate ruff around her neck adds a touch of sophistication to her attire. Beyond being a symbol of fashion and opulence during the Elizabethan era, this painting also hints at Elizabeth's involvement in political uprisings that plagued Ireland during that time. Being the daughter of Gerald Fitzgerald, she had ties to Irish rebellions against English rule. Published in 1825 as part Memoirs from the Court Queen Elizabeth series by Sarah Essex Countess (d. 1838), this print captures both historical significance and artistic brilliance. Housed within a private collection today, it serves as a testament to Bridgeman Images' commitment to preserving fine art heritage for generations to come.
