EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from 1814 depicts Isabella Fitzroy, Duchess of Grafton, a prominent figure in British history. Isabella was one of the renowned Hampton Court Beauties, known for their exceptional beauty and charm during the late 17th century. Isabella's life was intertwined with royalty as she married Henry Fitzroy, Duke of Grafton, who happened to be the illegitimate son of King Charles II and Barbara Villiers. This union brought together two influential families and added an air of intrigue to Isabella's story. The mezzotint engraving by Robert Dunkarton beautifully captures Isabella's elegance and grace. It is based on a portrait painted by Willem Wissing, showcasing her timeless beauty for future generations to admire. Published in London in 1814 as part of Richard Earlom and Charles Turner's "Portraits of Characters Illustrious in British History Engraved in Mezzotinto" this print preserves the legacy of Isabella Fitzroy. The intricate details and delicate shading highlight both her physical features and inner strength. As we gaze upon this artwork today, we are transported back to a time when aristocracy reigned supreme. Isabella Fitzroy stands before us as a symbol of power, beauty, and resilience—a reminder that even amidst royal scandals and political turmoil, individuals can leave an indelible mark on history.
