EDITORS COMMENTS
Madam Sophia Bulkeley, born in Scotland in the late 17th century, was a prominent figure in the Jacobite court during the early 18th century. This striking portrait of Sophia, created by renowned English engraver Robert Dunkarton in 1814, is taken from the collection "Portraits of characters illustrious in British History from the beginning of the reign of Henry the Eighth to the end of the reign of James the Second," published in London in 1815. Sophia's elegant attire reflects the opulence and grandeur of the Jacobite court. She is depicted wearing a voluminous, high-waisted gown with a low-cut bodice, adorned with intricate lace and embroidery. Her hair is styled in an elaborate, tall hairstyle, piled high on her head and held in place with a large, ornate comb. The hairstyle, along with her delicate, powdered complexion, is a testament to the meticulous beauty standards of the time. The portrait also reveals Sophia's Stewart-Stuart connections, as she was a relative of the Stuart dynasty, who were the rightful claimants to the English and Scottish thrones during the Jacobite era. The portrait's black and white composition adds to its timeless and classic appeal, making it a valuable addition to any collection of historical portraits or fashion illustrations. Robert Dunkarton, a skilled engraver, expertly captured the essence of Sophia's regal presence and the intricacies of her attire, providing a glimpse into the world of the Jacobite court and the fashion trends of the time.
