EDITORS COMMENTS
In this portrait by Gilbert Soest, we are transported back to the 17th century and introduced to two distinguished figures: Lord John Hay and Charles, Master of Yester (later 3rd Marquis of Tweeddale). The painting showcases the remarkable talent of the Dutch artist in capturing not only their physical likeness but also their regal presence. The composition is rich with symbolism and detail. Against a backdrop of a breathtaking sunset sky, Lord John Hay stands tall, dressed in an exquisite robe adorned with a sash. He holds a leash that connects him to his loyal companion, Charles, who is depicted as an elegant greyhound. The dogs' alertness suggests their role as faithful protectors. Adding intrigue to the scene are several cupids fluttering about, one holding a parrot perched on its finger. These mythical creatures symbolize love and desire while highlighting the nobility's refined taste for exotic pets. Soest's masterful use of oil paint brings depth and texture to every element within the frame - from intricate details like Lord John Hay's delicate sandals to the soft fur of Charles' spaniel companion. This print from Liszt Collection allows us to appreciate both Soest's artistic prowess and the historical significance embodied by these noble men. It serves as a window into another era where elegance, power, and companionship were celebrated through artistry.
