1749 1812 Alexander Depicted Duchess Fourth Gordon Jane Maxwell Tudor
EDITORS COMMENTS
Jane Maxwell, Duchess of Gordon (1749-1812), is depicted in this stunning print in the elegant attire of the Tudor era. Born into the noble Maxwell family, Jane became the first wife of Alexander, the Fourth Duke of Gordon, in 1763. The Duke was a powerful and influential figure in Scottish and British politics, and Jane played a significant role in his household and social circle. The Tudor costume worn by Jane in this portrait reflects the fashionable trends of the late 18th century, with its voluminous skirts, high waistline, and intricate lace and embroidery. The rich fabrics and elaborate details of the dress would have been a testament to the Duchess's wealth and status. Despite her privileged upbringing, Jane's life was not without tragedy. She was widowed in 1793, and her eldest son, the Fifth Duke, died just a few years later in 1797. Jane continued to serve as a patron of the arts and a philanthropist, supporting charities and cultural institutions in Scotland and beyond. This beautiful portrait of Jane, Duchess of Gordon, offers a glimpse into the opulent world of the Scottish aristocracy in the late 18th century. It serves as a reminder of the complex and fascinating lives of the women who shaped the history of Scotland and the United Kingdom.
