EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite portrait captures Mary Douglas, Countess of Buchan, a figure of beauty and complexity from the early 17th century. Daughter of James Douglas, 5th Earl of Angus and Moray, Mary was the first wife of James Erskine, who later became the 1st Earl of Buchan. The intricate details of the image reveal Mary's elegant attire, adorned with lace collars and cuffs, as well as the delicate flowers entwined in her long, dark hair. The use of flowers in Mary's hair was a common practice during this period, symbolizing her marital status and femininity. The year is believed to be around 1628, making this portrait an invaluable representation of the Scottish aristocracy during the Jacobean era. Mary's title as Countess of Buchan signifies her status as the wife of an earl, further emphasizing her importance in Scottish society. The intricacies of her lineage - being the daughter of an earl and the wife of an earl - add to the complexity of this portrait. With her enchanting smile and poised demeanor, Mary Douglas, Countess of Buchan, remains a fascinating figure in Scottish history.
