EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print showcases the enigmatic Anne Carnegie, Countess of Southesk, whose life was shrouded in scandal and intrigue. Married to James Carnegie, she was formerly known as Lady Anne Hamilton before her notorious affair with the Duke of York came to light. Created by B. Holl in the 18th-19th century using steel engraving techniques after a portrait by Sir Peter Lely, this image captures the essence of Anne's beauty and allure during the Restoration era. The delicate lines and intricate details bring forth her regal presence and captivating charm. Anne's reputation as a courtier during King Charles II's reign is evident in this artwork from Mrs Anna Jameson's "Memoirs of the Beauties of the Court of King Charles II". Published in London in 1838 by Henry Coburn, it serves as a fascinating glimpse into an era filled with political intrigues and romantic entanglements. While scandalous affairs were not uncommon during this time period, Anne Carnegie's liaison with the Duke of York added an extra layer of infamy to her story. This portrait print immortalizes her role as both wife and mistress, capturing a moment frozen in time that continues to captivate viewers centuries later. With its historical significance and artistic craftsmanship, this fine art print offers us a window into an intriguing chapter of British history while showcasing Anne Carnegie's undeniable allure amidst controversy.
