1769 Catherine Croft Henrietta Nathaniel
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this elegant and evocative portrait, Henrietta Catherine Cholmley (nee Croft) is depicted in her prime, radiating beauty and refinement. The portrait, believed to have been painted around the time of her marriage to Nathaniel Cholmley in the mid-18th century, captures the essence of a woman of high society and status. Henrietta Catherine was the second wife of Nathaniel Cholmley, the wealthy and influential landowner of Howsham Hall in North Yorkshire, England. Her maiden name was Croft, and her birth date is not definitively known, but it is believed to have been around the late 17th or early 18th century. The portrait shows Henrietta Catherine wearing a fashionable robe of rich fabric, adorned with intricate lace and embroidery. Her hair is styled in an elaborate and intricate coiffure, held in place by a delicate ribbon and adorned with pearls and other jewels. Her expression is serene and confident, reflecting the poise and grace of a woman of her social standing. Henrietta Catherine's marriage to Nathaniel Cholmley was a significant event in the history of Howsham Hall and the surrounding area. The Cholmleys were a powerful and influential family, with extensive lands and holdings in Yorkshire and beyond. Henrietta Catherine brought her own wealth and connections to the marriage, and together, she and Nathaniel played an important role in the social and political life of the region. Tragically, Henrietta Catherine's life was cut short when she passed away in 1769, at the relatively young age of around 50. Her portrait, however, remains a testament to her beauty, grace, and the important role she played in the history of the Cholmley family and Howsham Hall.
