EDITORS COMMENTS
In this portrait, we are transported back to the Jacobean era as we gaze upon the enigmatic countenance of a woman believed to be the Countess of Arundel. Painted in 1619 by Cornelius Janssen van Ceulen, this oil on panel masterpiece measures 66x73.5 cm and is housed at the Yale Center for British Art. The subject's long flowing hair cascades down her shoulders, framing an oval face that exudes elegance and grace. She wears a delicate lace collar known as a ruff, which was a symbol of aristocracy during this period. The intricate details of the lace draw our attention to her refined taste and social standing. Her piercing eyes seem to hold secrets untold, inviting us to delve into her world and unravel her story. As we contemplate this portrait, we can't help but wonder about the life she led - what joys or sorrows did she experience? What role did she play within society? This painting serves as a window into history, capturing not only the physical appearance but also reflecting societal norms and values of its time. It reminds us that art has always been intertwined with culture and provides us with glimpses into different eras. As viewers today, we have the privilege of admiring this remarkable work thanks to Bridgeman Art's dedication in preserving fine art prints like these for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
