EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print captures the essence of Louise de Kerouaille, Duchess of Portsmouth, a prominent figure in the court of King Charles II. Painted by Sir Peter Lely and beautifully engraved by Charles Edward Wagstaff, this image showcases Louise in her role as a French mistress to the king during the Restoration period. Dressed as a shepherdess, Louise exudes an air of elegance and allure. Her crook rests gently against her side while her bosom is adorned with intricate details that speak to her status and beauty. The ringlets cascading down her shoulders add a touch of softness to the overall composition. The steel engraving technique used by Wagstaff brings out every delicate line and shadow, enhancing the gracefulness of Louise's features. This print is taken from Mrs Anna Jameson's "Memoirs of the Beauties of the Court" published in 1838 during Victorian times when there was great fascination with historical figures. Through this artwork, we are transported back in time to witness one woman's journey through power and influence within royal circles. It serves as a reminder not only of Louise de Kerouaille's significant role but also highlights the artistic talent that immortalized her beauty for generations to come.
