EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print, titled "Portrait of Mary Tudor" takes us back to the Elizabethan era and offers a glimpse into the intriguing world of English royalty. Created by Sarah Countess of Essex in 1825, this exquisite artwork showcases her talent in w/c and gouache on paper. However, upon closer examination, it becomes evident that there is an erroneous attribution associated with this piece. The woman depicted in this painting is not Mary Tudor but Catherine Howard, the fifth wife of Henry VIII. This revelation adds another layer of historical significance to the image. The subject exudes elegance and poise as she dons a widow's mourning dress with intricate cuffs adorning her wrists. Her headdress accentuates her regal stature while hinting at the fashion trends prevalent during the sixteenth century. As we delve deeper into history, we discover that Catherine Howard was not only married to one of England's most notorious monarchs but also held the title of Duchess of Suffolk before becoming Queen Consort. This portrait captures her beauty and allure during a tumultuous period in English history. Preserved within a private collection, this remarkable print allows us to appreciate both Sarah Countess of Essex's artistic prowess and Catherine Howard's place within royal lineage. It serves as a reminder that even centuries later, these glimpses into our past continue to captivate our imagination and offer insights into lives lived long ago.
