EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Lucy Harrington, Countess of Bedford, in a stunning portrait from around 1610. Lucy Russell, born as Lucy Harington in 1580 and passing away in 1627, was an influential figure during the Elizabethan and Jacobean eras. She held a prominent position as an aristocratic patron of the arts and literature, making her mark as a non-royal performer in court masques while also excelling as a letter-writer and poet. The image captures Lucy's elegance and grace, with her veiled head adorned by intricate decorative elements. Her direct gaze reflects both confidence and suspicion, hinting at the complexities of her role within British society at that time. The monochrome black-and-white composition adds to the timeless quality of this portrait. Lucy's significance is further emphasized by her connection to King James I (also known as James VI of Scotland). As depicted in T. F. Henderson's book "James I. and VI" she enjoyed close ties with royalty while maintaining her own individuality as an accomplished writer and supporter of the arts. This print serves not only as a beautiful piece of art but also as a reminder of Lucy Harrington's lasting impact on British culture during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.
