EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait, titled "Portrait of a Woman, aged 16" has long been shrouded in mystery. Previously believed to depict Mary Fitzalan, Duchess of Norfolk, recent research suggests that she may actually be a Tudor Court Maid of Honour or Lady in Waiting. The young woman's delicate features and youthful countenance evoke a sense of innocence and vulnerability. Painted by the talented Flemish artist Hans Eworth or Ewoutsz during the Elizabethan era, this oil on panel masterpiece measures an impressive 88.9x71.2 cm. The subject is adorned in sumptuous court dress, wearing an exquisitely embroidered gown with intricate details that showcase her status and wealth. Her attire is complemented by a vibrant red shawl draped gracefully over her shoulders, adding depth to the composition. She holds a pair of gloves delicately in one hand while donning an elaborate headdress adorned with pearls and pendants hanging from chains. The young lady's pearl girdle further accentuates her elegance and refinement. Her gaze meets ours with a mix of curiosity and serenity as if inviting us into her world for just a moment. Preserved at the Yale Center for British Art through generous support from the Paul Mellon Fund, this remarkable artwork continues to captivate viewers centuries after its creation. Its timeless beauty serves as a testament to both the skill of its creator and the enduring allure of portraiture throughout history.
