Henry Coburn was a renowned portrait artist during the 17th century, capturing the beauty and elegance of some of the most influential women of his time. His skillful brushstrokes brought to life the enchanting features of Emilia Butler, Countess of Ossory, a prominent Anglo-Dutch courtier who served King Charles III and Queen Catherine of Braganza with grace and poise. In another captivating piece, Coburn immortalized Mrs Lawson or Miss Lawson, one of the Windsor Beauties. Her delicate features exuded timeless charm and allure that mesmerized all who gazed upon her portrait. Coburn's talent extended beyond noblewomen as he also portrayed Mary Cavendish, 1st Duchess of Devonshire. The painting captured her regal presence as she stood beside her husband William Cavendish, Earl and Duke of Devonshire. Among his subjects was Mrs Jane Middleton, whose exquisite beauty left an indelible mark on those fortunate enough to witness it. Granger described her as a woman whose radiance surpassed imagination. Anne Carnegie, Countess of Southesk, formerly Lady Anne Hamilton found herself under Coburn's artistic gaze. Known for her notorious affair with the Duke of York (later James II), her portrait reflected both vulnerability and strength in equal measure. Coburn also had the privilege to paint Catherine Branganza, queen consort to King Charles II. Her refined features spoke volumes about her royal status while emanating an air of quiet dignity. Nell Gwynn's vibrant personality shone through in Coburn's portrayal. As a beloved Restoration actress and long-time mistress to King Charles II himself, Nell possessed an undeniable charisma that made hearts flutter across England. Louise de Kerouaille graced Coburn's canvas with unparalleled elegance. As French mistress to King Charles II during his reign from 1660-1685; Louise epitomized sophistication and allure.
