EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the elegant portrait of Alice Brandon, also known as Mrs Hilliard, created by the renowned artist Nicholas Hilliard in 1578. Painted with watercolors on vellum, this masterpiece is currently housed at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, UK. Alice Hilliard holds a significant place in history as she was not only Hilliard's first wife but also the daughter of his former master, Robert Brandon, who served as the Queens Goldsmith. This familial connection adds an intriguing layer to this already mesmerizing artwork. The portrait captures Alice's bust and head with remarkable attention to detail. Her regal presence is enhanced by her elaborate Elizabethan ruff collar that frames her face beautifully. The use of vibrant colors brings life to this Tudor-era miniature and highlights Alice's grace and poise. Hilliard's artistic prowess shines through in every brushstroke, creating a sculpture-like quality within this two-dimensional piece. The artistry displayed here exemplifies why he is considered one of England's most celebrated artists from that era. This photograph print serves as a testament to both historical significance and artistic brilliance.
