EDITORS COMMENTS
Elizabeth Jones, Countess of Kildare, radiates elegance and grace in this portrait from the late 17th century. Painted by William Wissing or Wissmig, this oil on canvas print captures the essence of a noblewoman during that era. Dressed in a stunning shepherdess costume, Elizabeth dons a fashionable hat adorned with delicate flowers. Her bonnet adds an air of sophistication to her ensemble while her staff symbolizes authority and power. The sheep grazing peacefully beside her further emphasizes her pastoral role. Every detail in this painting is meticulously restored, allowing us to appreciate the intricate jewelry adorning Elizabeth's neck and wrists. The bergere she sits upon exudes opulence and comfort, creating an atmosphere of luxury. The artist masterfully portrays Elizabeth as both regal and approachable through his use of light and shadow. Her serene expression hints at wisdom beyond her years, making it evident why she holds such high status within society. This remarkable artwork now resides at the Yale Center for British Art thanks to the generosity of Paul Mellon Fund. It serves as a testament to the enduring beauty found within historical portraiture.
