EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of the Duchess of York in 1793, a woman whose life was marked by religious conversion and royal lineage. Painted by JL Claessens after Sir Peter Lely, this portrait showcases the Duchess as she gazes directly at the viewer with confidence and grace. The Duchess of York, also known as Anne Hyde, was the first wife of King James II of England. Originally an Anglican, she converted to Catholicism shortly after her marriage. Her commitment to her newfound faith is evident in this image, symbolizing her deep connection to Christianity and Roman Catholicism. Dressed in exquisite 17th-century clothing that highlights her regal status, the Duchess exudes elegance with off-the-shoulder attire adorned with intricate details. Her ringlet hairstyle frames her face delicately, adding a touch of femininity to her overall appearance. As one person stands alone outdoors against a monochrome backdrop, it is impossible not to be drawn into the enigmatic presence of this historical figure. The print beautifully captures both the physical beauty and inner strength that defined the Duchess's character. Preserved through time by E & S Harding from Sheffield in 1793, this engraving serves as a testament to an era when royalty held immense power and influence over society. It allows us to glimpse into history while appreciating artistry that transcends centuries.
