1803 Andrew Brother Cumberland Depicted Duchess Frederick Horton Lute Luttrell Subsequently Widow

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking portrait, Ann, Duchess of Cumberland, is depicted in elegant attire, holding a lute in her hands. Ann was the daughter of the 1st Earl of Carhampton, Edward Luttrell, and his wife, Anne Bulkeley. She first married Andrew Horton, with whom she had six children before his untimely death in 1769. Following a period of mourning, Ann caught the eye of Henry Frederick, Duke of Cumberland, the younger brother of King George III. The Duke was known for his military prowess and his patronage of the arts. Ann and the Duke married in 1771, and she became Duchess of Cumberland for the second time. This portrait, likely painted between 1780 and 1803, captures Ann in the prime of her life. Her expression is serene, and her posture is graceful. The lute, a popular instrument during the 18th century, adds an air of refinement to the portrait. Music was a favored pastime of the aristocracy, and the ability to play an instrument was considered a mark of education and sophistication. Ann's marriage to the Duke of Cumberland was a happy one, and they had no children together. However, Ann continued to play an important role in the Duke's court and in the social scene of Georgian London. She was known for her beauty, her wit, and her generosity, and she was a beloved figure among the aristocracy. The portrait provides a glimpse into the life of a prominent figure in Georgian society, a woman who defied the conventions of her time by marrying twice and continuing to make an impact on the world around her. The lute, a symbol of music and culture, adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to the portrait, making it a fitting representation of Ann, Duchess of Cumberland.
