EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative portrait captures Anne Stanhope, Duchess of Somerset (1528-1586), in the somber attire of a widow following the death of her husband, Edward Seymour, Duke of Somerset, in 1552. The Duchess's mourning dress, which conforms to the sumptuous yet austere fashion of the Tudor period, is a testament to the profound grief and solemnity that enveloped the English court during this time. Anne Stanhope's attire consists of a high-necked, long-sleeved, and voluminous gown made of black velvet, adorned with intricate lace and embroidery. Her headdress, a tall, conical structure known as a "hennin," is also draped in black fabric and adorned with a veil, further emphasizing her widowed status. The Duchess's expression, though not visible in this image, is believed to have been one of quiet resignation and dignity, reflecting the expectations of a noblewoman during the mourning process. The portrait offers a poignant glimpse into the life of a Tudor widow, a woman who, though bereaved, maintained her status and dignity through adherence to the prescribed customs of the time. The Duchess of Somerset's mourning attire not only served as a symbol of her loss but also as a reminder of the social and political order that governed the lives of the English nobility during the Tudor era.
