EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating portrait captures Frances Justina Huddleston, a nun of the order of Augustinian Canonesses at the English Convent in Bruges. Painted by an anonymous Netherlandish artist in 1727, this oil on canvas print showcases her serene and devout presence. Frances Justina's commitment to her faith is evident as she stands gracefully, dressed in the habit of her order. Holding a divine office book, she exudes an air of wisdom and devotion. The painting was created during a significant moment in her life - the year she professed her vows. During the penal period when Catholicism faced persecution in England, many families sent their daughters and sons to be educated abroad. Unmarried daughters often found solace within convent walls, seeking a life dedicated to God. Frances Justina was born into the esteemed Huddleston family from Sawston. Her parents were Richard Huddleston (1683-1717) and Mary Ayloffe. This portrait not only immortalizes Frances Justina but also serves as a testament to the resilience of English Catholics during challenging times. Today, over two centuries later, Couvent des Anglais still stands as a reminder of this rich history. It continues its mission as both a place of worship and education for those who seek spiritual enlightenment. This remarkable artwork is part of Bridgeman Images' collection and offers viewers a glimpse into Frances Justina Huddleston's world - one filled with faith, conviction, and unwavering dedication to serving God within the confines of an Augustinian convent.
