"The Lord Villiers & Lady Mary Villiers His Sister" is a notable mezzotint engraving created by the renowned English printmaker John Smith in the late 17th century. John Smith, born in 1652 and active until his death in 1743, is celebrated for his contributions to the art of mezzotint, a printmaking process that allows for the creation of images with rich tonal variations and a painterly quality. Smith's works are highly regarded for their technical excellence and artistic merit, and he is often credited with popularizing the mezzotint technique in England.

This particular engraving depicts George Villiers, 2nd Duke of Buckingham, and his sister, Lady Mary Villiers, who later became Mary Stuart, Duchess of Richmond and Lennox. The Villiers siblings were prominent figures in the English aristocracy during the 17th century, known for their close connections to the royal court and their influential roles in the social and political spheres of the time. The portrait captures the elegance and refinement of the siblings, showcasing Smith's ability to render intricate details and subtle gradations of light and shadow.

The composition of "The Lord Villiers & Lady Mary Villiers His Sister" reflects the Baroque sensibilities of the period, characterized by dramatic contrasts, dynamic poses, and a sense of grandeur. The engraving is not only a testament to John Smith's skill as a printmaker but also serves as a valuable historical document, offering insights into the fashion, aesthetics, and cultural milieu of the late 17th century English nobility.

Smith's mezzotints, including this one, were widely collected and admired during his lifetime and continue to be studied and appreciated by art historians and collectors today. "The Lord Villiers & Lady Mary Villiers His Sister" remains an exemplary work within Smith's oeuvre, illustrating the enduring appeal and significance of mezzotint engraving in the history of printmaking.
