EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the essence of Dorothy Huddleston (nee Dormer), a remarkable woman who lived during the early 17th century. Painted by an unknown English artist, this oil on canvas masterpiece is currently housed in the prestigious Huddleston Collection at St. Edmunds College in Cambridge, UK. Dorothy's story is one of unwavering loyalty and devotion. In 1605, her husband Henry became entangled in the infamous Gunpowder Plot. Despite his involvement, Dorothy pleaded with Lord Salisbury for mercy and even sought permission to visit him while he was imprisoned in Marshalsea Prison. The painting showcases Dorothy's strong Catholic faith as she stands confidently before us, adorned with pearls and jewels that symbolize her status and wealth. Her full-length portrait exudes elegance and grace, capturing her unwavering commitment to her beliefs. As we gaze into Dorothy's eyes, we can sense her determination and steadfastness as a faithful follower of Catholicism during a time when it was met with hostility in England. This portrait serves as a testament to both her resilience and unyielding loyalty. Bridgeman Images has done justice to this extraordinary piece of art through their meticulous reproduction process. It allows us to appreciate every brushstroke and detail that brings Dorothy Huddleston's story back to life centuries later.
