EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the essence of Frances Howard, Countess of Hertford, in 1611. Painted by Marcus Gheeraerts the Younger, this print showcases her beauty and elegance. Standing tall against a backdrop of luxurious curtains adorned with tassels, she exudes confidence and grace. Frances Howard's elaborate ruff frames her face delicately, drawing attention to her piercing eyes and serene expression. Her intricate lace collar adds an air of sophistication to her attire. The artist skillfully portrays every detail of her costume, from the richly patterned carpet beneath her feet to the vibrant flowers she holds in one hand. As a member of high society during the Jacobean era, Frances Howard was known for her influential connections and marriages. Notably, she became Duchess of Richmond and Lennox in 1621 after marrying Edward Seymour as her second husband. The composition is meticulously balanced with a cushion placed beside Frances Howard on which rests part of the Berkshire Marriage Set - a symbol perhaps alluding to both love and power within marriage. Displayed at Cowdray Park in Sussex, UK today; this print allows us to appreciate not only Gheeraerts' artistic talent but also offers insight into the opulence and grandeur that characterized English nobility during this period.
