1690 Brook Brooks Frances Whitmore
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative portrait, Frances, Lady Whitmore (nee Brook or Brooks) is depicted in the prime of her life, radiating elegance and refinement. The exact date of this painting is unknown, but it is believed to have been created around the time of her husband Sir Thomas Whitmore's knighting in 1687 or shortly thereafter, making it likely that the image was produced between 1687 and 1690. Frances's striking appearance is accentuated by her elaborate attire. She wears a richly textured gown of deep blue, adorned with intricate gold lace and embroidery. A delicate white collar and cuffs add a touch of contrast, while a pearl necklace and earrings further enhance her regal appearance. Her dark hair is styled in an elaborate updo, held in place by a jeweled hairpiece. Despite the formal setting, Frances's expression is warm and inviting, suggesting a kind and approachable nature. Her piercing gaze and confident posture convey a sense of strength and intelligence, making it clear that she was a woman of substance and depth. Sir Thomas Whitmore was a prominent figure in English society during the late 17th century. He held various important positions in the government, including that of Member of Parliament, and was knighted by King James II in 1687 for his service to the crown. Frances, as his wife, would have been an integral part of his social and political circle, making this portrait a valuable record of the lives and fashions of the English aristocracy during this period. This image of Frances, Lady Whitmore, offers a glimpse into the opulence and sophistication of the English court during the late 17th century. It is a testament to the beauty, grace, and strength of a woman who played a significant role in the history of her time.
