EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the elegance and grace of Elizabeth Vernon, Countess of Southampton, in the early 17th century. Painted by an anonymous English artist, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures a grand 188x109 cm and is housed at the prestigious Fitzwilliam Museum in the University of Cambridge, UK. Elizabeth Vernon was not only known for her beauty but also for her scandalous love affair with Henry Wriothesley, the 3rd Earl of Southampton. As a cousin to Robert Devereux, the 2nd Earl of Essex, their relationship caused quite a stir when she became pregnant with his child in 1598. In this regal portrait, Elizabeth is depicted wearing garter robes and adorned with a magnificent crown and tiara. Her full-length figure exudes confidence as she stands tall as one of Queen Elizabeth I's trusted maids of honour. The painting beautifully captures both Elizabethan and Jacobean influences through its intricate details and vibrant colors. The artist skillfully portrays every delicate feature from her flowing golden locks to her piercing gaze that seems to hold secrets untold. As we admire this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are transported back in time to witness the allure and intrigue surrounding one of history's most fascinating women.
