EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an enigmatic masterpiece, the "Unfinished Portrait of an unknown lady" by Nicholas Hilliard. Created around 1595 on vellum with watercolor, this miniature painting measures 18.2x12.2 cm and is housed in the prestigious Fitzwilliam Museum at the University of Cambridge, UK. Despite its incomplete state, this portrait exudes a timeless elegance that transports us back to Elizabethan England. The unidentified subject wears a boned bodice and dons a delicate lace ruff, epitomizing the fashion trends of the era. Her regal presence is enhanced by her farthingale, a voluminous underskirt that accentuates her stature. Hilliard's attention to detail is evident even in this unfinished work; his skillful brushstrokes capture every nuance of expression and texture with remarkable precision. Although we may never know who this mysterious lady was or why Hilliard left her portrait unfinished, it only adds to the allure and intrigue surrounding this piece. The larger scale of this full-length miniature allows us to appreciate every intricate feature up close—a privilege made possible through modern technology. Thanks to eFitzwilliam Museum and Bridgeman Images' collaboration, art enthusiasts can now enjoy a high-quality reproduction of this extraordinary artwork from the comfort of their own homes.
