Painting Description
"Portrait of Elizabeth Howard, Countess of Peterborough, Bust-length, In A White Dress" is a notable work by Sir Peter Lely, a prominent painter of the 17th century. Sir Peter Lely, born Pieter van der Faes in 1618 in Soest, Westphalia, was a Dutch painter who became the leading portraitist in England following the death of Anthony van Dyck. Lely's work is characterized by its elegant and refined style, which was highly sought after by the English aristocracy.
This particular portrait depicts Elizabeth Howard, who became the Countess of Peterborough through her marriage to Henry Mordaunt, 2nd Earl of Peterborough. Elizabeth Howard was a member of the influential Howard family, known for their significant roles in English history and politics. The portrait is a bust-length depiction, focusing on the upper part of the Countess's body, and she is adorned in a white dress, which was a symbol of purity and high social status during that era.
Lely's technique in this portrait exemplifies his mastery in capturing the delicate features and the sophisticated demeanor of his subjects. The use of light and shadow, combined with the soft rendering of the fabric and the subtle expression on Elizabeth Howard's face, showcases Lely's ability to convey both the physical likeness and the inner character of the sitter. The white dress, with its intricate details and flowing texture, highlights the Countess's elegance and the fashion of the time.
The portrait is not only a representation of Elizabeth Howard but also a reflection of the cultural and social milieu of 17th-century England. It provides insight into the aesthetics, fashion, and the hierarchical nature of society during the Restoration period. Sir Peter Lely's portraits, including this one, remain significant for their artistic merit and their historical value, offering a window into the lives and appearances of the English nobility of the time.
