EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Margaret Wotton, Marchioness of Dorset, 1487-1541" showcases the elegance and grace of a noblewoman from the 16th century. Created by renowned artist Hans Holbein the Younger in 1812, this print captures Margaret Wotton's beauty and sophistication. Dressed in a gable hood headdress, Margaret exudes an air of regality as she gazes directly at the viewer. Her delicate features are expertly rendered by Holbein's skilled hand, showcasing his mastery in capturing human likeness. The hand-colored copperplate stipple engraving adds depth and vibrancy to this portrait. The subtle hues bring out the richness of Margaret's attire and emphasize her status as a member of nobility. It is worth noting that this particular print was mislabeled as Frances Grey but is indeed a depiction of Margaret Wotton. As the second wife to Thomas Grey, 2nd Marquess of Dorset, she played an important role within British society during her time. This piece exemplifies the artistry and attention to detail characteristic of Renaissance portraiture. It serves as a window into both historical fashion trends and societal norms prevalent during the 16th century. Displayed against a plain background, Margaret takes center stage in this composition. Her dignified presence invites viewers to reflect on the complexities and nuances of aristocratic life during one of Europe's most transformative periods. Overall, this engraving beautifully encapsulates not only Margaret Wotton's individuality but also offers insight into broader themes such as femininity, nobility, and European history.
