Chain Dramatist Satirist Stuart Costume
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the esteemed George Villiers, a prominent figure in English history. Engraved by Bocquet, this illustration is taken from A catalogue of Royal and Noble Authors, Volume III, published in 1806. The lithograph was created by an anonymous artist from the 19th century English School. George Villiers, known as the 2nd Duke of Buckingham, was not only a distinguished statesman but also a talented writer and satirist. His wit and creativity are beautifully captured in this portrait. Sporting an elaborate wig and adorned with a chain around his neck, Villiers exudes elegance befitting his aristocratic status. The detailed depiction of Stuart costume transports us back to the 17th century when Villiers thrived as both a playwright and author. His satirical comedies were highly regarded during his time and continue to inspire admiration today. This remarkable print is part of a private collection that has been preserved over generations. Its inclusion in Fine Art Finder allows art enthusiasts worldwide to appreciate the brilliance of George Villiers' legacy.
