EDITORS COMMENTS
Arabella Stewart, c16th century (1904) - A Glimpse into the Royal Lineage". In this print by Marcus Gheeraerts, the Younger, we are transported back to the 16th century to catch a glimpse of Lady Arabella Stuart. She stands elegantly in her opulent attire, adorned with exquisite jewelry that reflects her noble status as a direct descendant of Henry VII. Lady Arbella Stuart's significance lies not only in her lineage but also in her potential claim to the English throne during Queen Elizabeth I's reign. For a time, she was considered a possible successor due to Elizabeth's childlessness. This portrait captures Lady Arabella at the height of speculation surrounding her future role as queen. The artist skillfully depicts Lady Arabella surrounded by symbolic elements. A majestic bird perches on one hand while an endearing dog rests at her side, representing loyalty and power. In contrast, a mischievous monkey playfully clings onto her hoop skirt, adding an element of whimsy. Gheeraerts' attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this composition – from Lady Arabella's intricate dress and necklace to the delicate feathers of the parrot she holds. The monochrome palette enhances both the elegance and timelessness of this image. This remarkable print offers us a window into history – an opportunity to witness one woman's connection to royalty and contemplate what might have been had circumstances unfolded differently for Lady Arbella Stuart.
