Painting Description
"Portrait of the Ladies Elisabeth Thimbleby and Dorothy Viscountess Andover" is a notable work by Sir Anthony van Dyck, a prominent Flemish Baroque artist who became the leading court painter in England under King Charles I. This double portrait, painted circa 1637, is a testament to Van Dyck's mastery in capturing the elegance and grace of aristocratic sitters, as well as his ability to convey the intimate relationships between them.
The painting depicts two English aristocrats, Elisabeth Thimbleby and her sister, Dorothy, Viscountess Andover. Elisabeth Thimbleby was the wife of Sir John Thimbleby of Irnham Hall, Lincolnshire, while Dorothy was married to Thomas Howard, Viscount Andover, who later became the Earl of Berkshire. The portrait is significant for its portrayal of the close bond between the sisters, which Van Dyck has emphasized through their physical closeness and the affectionate gesture of Dorothy's hand on Elisabeth's arm.
Van Dyck's skillful use of color and composition is evident in the luxurious fabrics and intricate lacework of the ladies' attire, which reflect their high social status. The background of the painting, though subdued, complements the figures and adds depth to the scene. The work is also notable for its psychological depth, as Van Dyck captures a sense of the sitters' personalities and the subtleties of their relationship.
"Portrait of the Ladies Elisabeth Thimbleby and Dorothy Viscountess Andover" is held in high esteem for its artistic merit and as a fine example of Van Dyck's portraiture during his English period. The painting is part of the collection at the National Gallery in London, where it continues to be studied and admired for its historical and artistic significance.
