Painting Description
"Portrait of a Lady, Three-quarter-length, Seated in a Black Dress and Ermine Cloak, a Red Curtain Beyond" is a notable work by Sir Peter Lely, a prominent painter of the 17th century, who became the Principal Painter to Charles II. Lely, born Pieter van der Faes (1618–1680), was a Dutch painter whose career flourished in England, where he became renowned for his portraits of the English aristocracy. His works are celebrated for their elegance, capturing the opulence and sophistication of the Stuart court.
This particular portrait, as suggested by its detailed title, depicts an unidentified lady of status, positioned in a three-quarter length pose, which was a common format for portraiture of the time, allowing for a detailed depiction of the sitter's attire and demeanor. The subject is dressed in a black dress, a color often associated with nobility and sophistication in the 17th century, complemented by an ermine cloak, indicating her high social standing. Ermine fur was traditionally used in the garments of the European aristocracy, symbolizing purity and rank. The inclusion of a red curtain in the background further adds to the grandeur of the composition, a common motif in baroque portraiture that helps to frame the subject and create a sense of depth.
Lely's technique, characterized by his soft, fluid brushwork and keen eye for detail, is evident in the rendering of the textures of the fabrics and the sitter's flesh. His ability to capture the personality and elegance of his subjects made him a favored artist among the English elite, and this painting is a testament to his skill in portraying the grace and dignity of his sitters.
"Portrait of a Lady, Three-quarter-length, Seated in a Black Dress and Ermine Cloak, a Red Curtain Beyond" is a significant work within Lely's oeuvre, exemplifying the artist's mastery in portraiture and his contribution to the visual culture of 17th-century England. The painting not only offers insight into the fashion and aesthetics of the period but also reflects the social and cultural milieu of the Stuart court. As such, it remains an important piece for scholars and enthusiasts of British art history, providing a window into the era's artistic and societal conventions.
