"George Carey, 2nd Baron Hunsdon" by Nicholas Hilliard is a notable portrait created by the renowned English miniaturist Nicholas Hilliard. Hilliard, active during the late 16th and early 17th centuries, is celebrated for his detailed and delicate portrait miniatures, which were highly sought after by the English nobility and royalty.

This particular portrait depicts George Carey, who was the 2nd Baron Hunsdon, a title he inherited in 1596. Carey was a prominent figure in Elizabethan England, serving as a courtier and soldier. He was the grandson of Mary Boleyn, sister to Anne Boleyn, which connected him to the royal Tudor lineage. His close ties to Queen Elizabeth I are reflected in his various roles, including that of Lord Chamberlain of the Household.

Hilliard's work is characterized by its exquisite attention to detail and the use of vibrant colors, which can be seen in this portrait. The painting captures Carey in a richly adorned costume, typical of the Elizabethan era, showcasing the luxurious fabrics and intricate embroidery that were fashionable among the English elite. The background is often a plain, dark color, which serves to highlight the subject's features and attire.

The portrait is a fine example of Hilliard's skill in capturing the likeness and personality of his sitters, despite the small scale of his works. Hilliard's miniatures were typically painted in watercolor on vellum, a technique that required precision and a steady hand.

Today, Hilliard's portraits, including that of George Carey, are valued for their historical significance and artistic merit. They offer a glimpse into the fashion, culture, and personalities of the Elizabethan court. This particular work is part of a collection that helps to illustrate the connections between art, politics, and society during one of England's most fascinating historical periods.
