EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the elegant portrait of Catherine of Braganza, created by renowned artist William Faithorne in 1662. The image captures the grace and beauty of Queen Catherine, who was a significant figure in British history during the 17th century. Queen Catherine, originally from Portugal, married King Charles II of Britain and became an influential queen consort. Her regal presence is evident in this engraving as she dons a stunning dress adorned with intricate lace details. Her hair is styled impeccably, complementing her royal demeanor. The portrait highlights Queen Catherine's refined taste in fashion as she wears a collar that exudes sophistication. She holds gloves delicately in her hand, symbolizing her status as royalty. This second state engraving by William Faithorne is part of his notable body of work displayed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Catherine's role as queen dowager after her husband's death further solidified her place in history. As one gazes upon this remarkable image, it becomes apparent why she was revered not only for her beauty but also for her intelligence and resilience. This exceptional photograph print allows us to appreciate Queen Catherine's contribution to both British and Portuguese culture while capturing a moment frozen in time from the illustrious seventeenth century monarchy era.
