EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print showcases Frances Stuart, the Duchess of Richmond, who was a prominent courtier in the court of King Charles II during the Restoration period. Painted by Sir Peter Lely and beautifully engraved by S. Freeman, this steel engraving captures her elegance and grace. Frances Stuart is depicted holding a bow, symbolizing her connection to Diana, the virgin goddess of hunting. This reference highlights her chaste nature and adds an intriguing layer to her persona as a powerful woman in the royal court. The Victorian-era print from Mrs Anna Jameson's Memoirs of the Beauties of the Court of King Charles II transports us back to a time when beauty and charm were highly valued qualities among nobility. The intricate details captured by Freeman's skilled hand make it evident why Frances Stuart was known as "La Belle Stuart". As we gaze upon this portrait, we are reminded of the opulence and grandeur that characterized King Charles II's court. It serves as a testament to both Frances Stuart's allure and Sir Peter Lely's talent for capturing his subjects' essence on canvas. This fine art print from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate not only the historical significance but also the artistic mastery behind this iconic portrayal. It invites us into a world where beauty reigned supreme and offers a glimpse into one woman's remarkable journey through 17th-century England’s aristocratic circles.
