Brocade Pearl Earring Ruff Stuart
EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the elegance and allure of Frances Howard, Countess of Somerset, a prominent figure in 17th century English society. Painted around 1615 by William Larkin or attributed to him, this oil on panel artwork showcases the artist's skill in capturing the essence of his subject. Frances Howard is depicted with grace and poise, her gaze fixed upon the viewer with an air of confidence. She wears a feigned oval frame around her face, emphasizing her beauty and status. Her attire is richly adorned with intricate brocade fabric, reflecting her wealth and social standing. The countess's fashion choices are equally striking – she dons a ruff collar that frames her face delicately. A single pearl earring adds a touch of sophistication to her ensemble. Her low-cut dress hints at both femininity and sensuality while maintaining an air of modesty befitting a woman of noble birth. Displayed at the National Portrait Gallery in London, this painting offers us a glimpse into the world of high society during the Stuart era. It serves as a testament to Frances Howard's influence and power within these circles. As we admire this exquisite print from Fine Art Finder, we are transported back in time to witness the timeless beauty and charisma exuded by one of history's most fascinating women – Frances Howard, Countess of Somerset.
