Ludovick Stuart, Duke of Richmond and Lennox (1574-1624), was a prominent Scottish nobleman and courtier during the late 16th and early 17th centuries. Born into the influential Stuart family, Ludovick was the son of Esmé Stewart, 1st Duke of Lennox, and Catherine de Balsac. His lineage placed him in close proximity to the Scottish and later English thrones, making him a significant figure in the political and social spheres of both kingdoms.

Ludovick inherited the titles of Duke of Lennox and Earl of Darnley upon his father's death in 1583. His status was further elevated when he was created Duke of Richmond in the English peerage by King James I in 1623, reflecting his close relationship with the monarch. Throughout his life, Ludovick held various important positions, including Lord High Admiral of Scotland and Lord Steward of the Household, showcasing his influence and the trust placed in him by the king.

The engraving of Ludovick Stuart by Joannes Barra (1581-1634) in 1624, and the portrait by Paulus Van Somer, are significant artistic representations of the Duke. Joannes Barra, a noted engraver of the period, captured the likeness of Ludovick Stuart with meticulous detail, contributing to the visual documentation of historical figures of the time. Paulus Van Somer, a renowned Flemish painter who worked in England, was known for his portraits of the English nobility and royalty. His depiction of Ludovick Stuart would have been a testament to the Duke's prominence and status within the court.

These artistic works not only serve as valuable historical records but also highlight the cultural and artistic exchanges between England and the Low Countries during the early 17th century. The collaboration between artists like Barra and Van Somer and their noble subjects underscores the importance of portraiture in commemorating and celebrating the lives of influential figures such as Ludovick Stuart, Duke of Richmond and Lennox.
