EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait miniature captures the essence of Lady Katherine Seymour, nee Grey, a woman whose life was intertwined with both tragedy and royalty. Painted by the talented artist Lievine Teerlink in 1562, this exquisite print showcases Lady Katherine holding her infant son while proudly wearing her husband's miniature. Lady Katherine Seymour was not only known for her beauty but also for her noble lineage as the sister of Lady Jane Grey. Married to Sir Edward Seymour, Earl of Hertford, she found herself immersed in the world of British royalty during the Elizabethan era. However, her life took a tumultuous turn when she was imprisoned in the Tower of London due to a secret marriage that went against royal protocol. Despite these hardships, Lady Katherine's maternal love shines through in this portrait as she tenderly cradles her child. The fur-trimmed attire and regal aura surrounding her signify her status within society and hint at the grandeur associated with being part of Britain's ruling class. Displayed at Belvoir Castle in Leicestershire, UK, this remarkable piece offers us a glimpse into an extraordinary period in English history. It serves as a testament to Lady Katherine's resilience and strength amidst adversity while capturing an important chapter within the Tudor dynasty.
