EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait, titled "Portrait of a lady, 1575" is a remarkable piece of art that showcases the talent and skill of Cornelis Ketel. Painted in oil on panel, this exquisite work measures 78.8x62.2 cm and is part of a private collection. The subject of this painting is Mary Vaux, the second wife of William Vaux, 3rd Baron Vaux of Harrowden. Known for her devout Roman Catholic faith and support for Catholic missionary activity, Mary's elegance and grace are beautifully captured by Ketel. In this half-length portrait, Mary stands proudly against a dark background wearing an elaborate white headdress adorned with delicate lace collar and cuffs. Her black dress contrasts elegantly with her fair complexion while emphasizing her regal stature. Ketel's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke as he captures the intricate patterns on Mary's clothing and meticulously renders each strand of hair beneath her cap. The artist masterfully combines elements from both Northern Renaissance and Elizabethan styles to create a timeless representation. This stunning portrait not only serves as a testament to Ketel's artistic prowess but also provides us with insight into the life and personality of Mary Vaux during the Tudor era. It remains an enduring symbol of beauty, sophistication, and cultural significance within the realm of Renaissance portraiture.
