Painting Description
The "Portrait of Mrs Rous" is an exquisite example of the portraiture work of Sir Peter Lely, a prominent 17th-century painter who succeeded Sir Anthony van Dyck as the leading portraitist in England. Sir Peter Lely, born Pieter van der Faes in 1618 in Soest, Westphalia, was of Dutch origin and moved to England around 1641. He quickly established himself as a sought-after artist, particularly known for his portraits of the English aristocracy and members of the royal court.
The "Portrait of Mrs Rous" is believed to have been painted during the Restoration period, a time when Lely was appointed as the Principal Painter in Ordinary to King Charles II. This period was marked by a flourishing of the arts, and Lely's portraits were highly prized for their elegance, sophistication, and the subtle yet expressive rendering of his subjects.
In this portrait, Mrs Rous is depicted with the characteristic grace and poise that Lely's sitters often exhibit. The painting showcases Lely's masterful use of light and shadow to create a sense of depth and realism. Mrs Rous is adorned in luxurious attire, indicative of her social status, and the attention to detail in the rendering of fabrics and textures is a testament to Lely's skill. The background of the portrait is typically understated, allowing the viewer's focus to remain on the subject.
Lely's portraits are renowned for their ability to capture not just the physical likeness of his sitters but also an air of their personality and status. The "Portrait of Mrs Rous" is no exception, offering a glimpse into the life and fashion of the English elite during the 17th century. This work, like many of Lely's portraits, remains an important piece of cultural heritage, reflecting the artistic and social milieu of Restoration England.
