1636 Anthony Aristocratic Casual Dyck Dyke Englishwoman Gown Margaret Smith
EDITORS COMMENTS
This image captures Margaret Smith, Lady Carye, an English aristocratic lady of the 17th century. Dressed in a low-cut house gown, the elegant attire accentuates her refined beauty and sophisticated air. The gown, with its intricate design and sumptuous fabric, is a testament to the opulence and grandeur of the aristocratic class during this period. Margaret Smith, who was the daughter of Sir John Smith and Lady Elizabeth Lee, was a woman of great importance in English society. Her casual yet regal demeanor is evident in this portrait, which was likely painted by an accomplished artist of the time. The house gown, or "farthingale" gown, was a popular style among the aristocracy during the early 1600s. The gown features a fitted bodice that cinches at the waist, creating an hourglass figure, and a full, voluminous skirt that is supported by a hoop or farthingale. The low-cut neckline adds a touch of modernity and sensuality to the traditional design. Despite the casual appearance of the gown, the intricate details and high-quality materials used in its construction reveal the great care and attention to detail that went into creating such an elegant and luxurious garment. The richly textured fabric, the delicate lace trim, and the ornate embroidery all contribute to the overall effect of elegance and refinement. Lady Carye's portrait provides a fascinating glimpse into the world of the English aristocracy during the 17th century, offering a glimpse into the fashion, culture, and social norms of the time. The image is a reminder of the beauty and sophistication of this bygone era, and serves as a reminder of the enduring allure of historical costume and the stories it can tell.
