EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Barbara Palmer, the 1st Duchess of Cleveland and Countess of Castlemaine, who was famously known as the notorious mistress to King Charles II during the Restoration era. The image depicts her in a powerful stance, embodying both elegance and strength. Dressed as Pallas Athena or Bellona, she wears a military helmet adorned with feathers and holds a spear and shield, symbolizing her warrior-like spirit.

This artwork beautifully captures Barbara Palmer's allure and influence over one of England's most renowned monarchs. Barbara Villiers was not only recognized for her beauty but also for her intelligence and wit.
