EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Barbara, Duchess of Cleveland" showcases the beauty and regal elegance of a prominent historical figure. Created by Peter Lely in the 17th century, this print captures Barbara Palmer, also known as Lady Castlemaine or Countess of Castlemaine, who was one of King Charles II's most famous mistresses. In this portrait, Barbara exudes confidence and allure as she dons a stunning feathered headdress adorned with pearls. Her piercing gaze and delicate features are beautifully accentuated by her extravagant earring. The intricate details of her armor and helmet add a touch of strength to her feminine charm. The artist has masterfully depicted Barbara against a backdrop that hints at her royal status, with references to Windsor Beauties - the renowned group of women considered to be the most beautiful during Charles II's reign. This engraving not only serves as an exquisite piece of art but also offers insight into the intriguing history surrounding European royalty during this era. It is a testament to both Lely's artistic talent and his ability to capture the essence and allure of his subjects. With its digitally cleaned image, this print allows us to appreciate every fine detail while providing a glimpse into an enchanting period in English history.
