EDITORS COMMENTS
This oil on canvas print showcases the elegant Lady Elizabeth Thimbelby and her sister, Dorothy, Viscountess Andover. Painted by the renowned Flemish artist Anthony van Dyck, this double portrait captures the essence of aristocratic beauty and wealth during the Stuart era. The sisters are depicted in exquisite finery, with Dorothy standing gracefully on the left while Elizabeth sits regally on the right. Cupid presents flowers to Elizabeth, symbolizing love and possibly alluding to her newlywed status. Her saffron-colored gown adds a touch of bridal symbolism to the composition. Dorothy's angelic presence is emphasized by her flowing curls and delicate features. The painting exudes an air of nobility as it portrays these privileged siblings within their opulent surroundings. As daughters of Thomas, 1st Viscount Savage, Lady Elizabeth Thimbelby and Dorothy belonged to a prominent aristocratic family. This group portrait not only celebrates their individual beauty but also highlights their social status within society. Displayed at Nottingham City Museums and Galleries' Newstead Abbey collection, this artwork offers a glimpse into a bygone era characterized by luxury and refinement. Van Dyck's masterful brushwork brings these two women to life in stunning detail for generations to admire.
