EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait print captures the regal presence of Henry Percy, the 9th Earl of Northumberland. Painted in 1824 by John Samuel Agar, this image showcases the aristocratic charm and power that defined Percy's era. Henry Percy was a prominent figure in English history, known for his marriage to Dorothy Devereux, sister of Robert Devereux, the 2nd Earl of Essex. Through this union, he acquired vast estates including Petworth House and Syon House in 1594. However, his life took a dramatic turn when he spent an astonishing 16 years as a prisoner in the Tower of London. During his time in captivity, Percy developed a close friendship with Walter Raleigh and they would often smoke tobacco together. This unique bond is reflected in this portrait. The artist Anthony van Dyck skillfully captured every detail of Henry Percy's appearance - from his distinguished beard to his noble countenance. The monochrome engraving adds depth to the image while emphasizing its timeless quality. This print serves as a testament to both historical significance and artistic talent. It allows us to glimpse into the world of an influential figure who endured great hardships yet remained dignified throughout. As we admire this piece today, we are reminded of the enduring legacy left behind by individuals like Henry Percy during England's Elizabethan and Jacobean eras.
