EDITORS COMMENTS
In this elegant portrait, Countess Elizabeth Percy, also known as Lucy Percy, Baroness Percy, Poynings, Fitzpain, Bryan, and Latimer, is depicted in all her regal splendor. The Countess, who was the wife of Sir Hugh Percy, the 2nd Earl of Northumberland, is shown wearing an ermine-trimmed robe, a symbol of her noble status. Her intricately styled ringlets cascade down her shoulders, framing her delicate features and accentuating her piercing blue eyes. The Countess's earring, adorned with a pearl and a diamond, adds an air of sophistication and wealth to her appearance. The portrait was likely taken between 1716 and 1776, during the Countess's prime years. Her expression is serene and confident, reflecting her strength and poise as a member of the British aristocracy. The background of the portrait is simple, with a plain, dark backdrop that allows the Countess to stand out as the focal point of the image. Countess Elizabeth Percy was a woman of great influence and power in her time. She was the daughter of the 1st Earl of Tankerville and was married to Sir Hugh Percy in 1734. The Percy family was one of the most prominent and powerful in England, with vast estates and significant political influence. The Countess's marriage to Sir Hugh Percy solidified her position within the aristocracy and granted her a seat in the House of Lords. Despite her privileged upbringing and position, the Countess is known to have been a generous and compassionate woman, who was deeply involved in charitable works and the welfare of her community. This portrait captures a moment in time, showcasing the beauty, grace, and power of one of the most influential women of the 18th century.
