EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the elegance and grace of Mary of Modena, the second wife of James II. Painted around 1685 by William Wissing or Wissmig, this oil on canvas artwork showcases the beauty and regal presence of a powerful woman in history. Mary stands tall and confident, adorned in luxurious garments befitting her royal status. Her eyes exude both intelligence and determination as she gazes into the distance. The artist skillfully portrays her with delicate features, emphasizing her femininity while also hinting at her strength. In one hand, Mary holds a walking stick or cane, symbolizing both power and authority. Her other hand rests gently on an adorable dog by her side—a loyal companion that adds warmth to the composition. The background is filled with vibrant honeysuckle flowers and roses, representing love and devotion. These floral motifs further enhance Mary's image as a beloved queen who played an influential role during this period. As we admire this remarkable painting from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are transported back in time to witness the grandeur of British royalty. This portrait serves as a testament to Mary's significance within English history—an enduring reminder of her legacy as a strong female ruler during a tumultuous era for Great Britain.
