EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the essence of a remarkable woman, believed to be Catherine Carey, Lady Knollys. Painted by Steven van der Meulen in the 16th century, this oil on panel print showcases her elegance and grace. Lady Knollys was not an ordinary lady; she held a significant place in history as the wife of Sir Francis Knollys and first cousin to Queen Elizabeth I. Her lineage can be traced back to the Boleyn family, making her connection to royalty even more profound. In this portrait, Lady Knollys exudes confidence as she gazes directly at the viewer. She is adorned in an exquisite embroidered dress with slashed sleeves and fur trimmings that highlight her noble status. The intricate ruff around her neck adds a touch of sophistication to her ensemble. A small dog rests obediently at her side, symbolizing loyalty and companionship. Lady Knollys holds a pair of gloves delicately in one hand while showcasing beautiful jewelry on the other. The artist has masterfully captured every detail - from the fine embroidery on her dress to the family crest prominently displayed behind her - creating a lasting impression of opulence and refinement. This print serves as a window into Tudor-era fashion and societal norms while also honoring an influential figure who played a vital role during one of England's most iconic periods.
