EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite stipple engraving captures the dignified presence of John Maitland, the Second Earl and first Duke of Lauderdale. Created in the 19th century by an English artist after a portrait by Sir Peter Lely, this print showcases the nobleman's striking features and regal attire. John Maitland was a prominent figure in Scottish history during the 17th century. Known for his political influence and loyalty to King Charles II, he played a significant role in shaping Scotland's political landscape. His rise to power led him to be appointed as Secretary of State for Scotland and later elevated to become Duke of Lauderdale. In this portrait, Maitland is depicted wearing an elaborate wig that was fashionable during his time. The attention to detail in capturing every strand of hair reflects both the skill of the engraver and the importance placed on appearance during this era. The artist, Sir Peter Lely, was renowned for his ability to capture not only physical likeness but also convey personality through portraiture. This print exemplifies Lely's mastery as it portrays Maitland with an air of authority mixed with elegance. Displayed against a simple background, this engraving allows viewers to focus solely on Maitland himself - his piercing gaze, confident posture, and refined clothing all speak volumes about his status as a distinguished member of society. Overall, this print serves as a testament to John Maitland's influential position within British history while showcasing both artistic talent and historical significance.
