EDITORS COMMENTS
This image captures the Arundel Family, led by Thomas Howard, 2nd Earl of Arundel and Surrey (1585-1646), and his beloved wife Alathea (nee Taschereau) (d. 1637), surrounded by their seven children and a faithful dog. The portrait, believed to have been painted between 1585 and 1646, showcases the Earl's prominent position in English society during the late Elizabethan and early Stuart eras. Thomas Howard was a significant figure in Tudor and Stuart England, serving as Lord Chamberlain to both Queen Elizabeth I and King James I. His wife Alathea, a French noblewoman, brought an air of continental sophistication to the family. Their children, from eldest to youngest, are Anthony (1608-1660), Philip (d. 1642), Henry (d. 1632), Edward (d. 1664), Elizabeth (d. 1654), Catherine (d. 1633), and Frances (d. 1643). The family's pet dog, likely a companion to the children, adds a touch of warmth and familiarity to the portrait. The intricately detailed clothing and accessories worn by each family member reflect the opulence and elegance of the time. The painting's rich colors and meticulous brushwork reveal the skill of the unknown artist, who expertly captured the essence of this prominent and cherished family.
