EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite portrait captures the elegance and grace of Duchesse of Richmond, Dame Elizabeth Trentham, née Howard (1578-1639). Daughter of Thomas Howard, 4th Duke of Norfolk, 1st Earl of Suffolk, and 1st Baron Howard of Bindon, she was previously married to Edward, Earl of Hertford, before becoming the third wife of Ludovick Stuart, Duke of Richmond and Lennox. Born in 1578, Duchesse of Richmond was a woman of great beauty and charm. Her striking features, accentuated by her elaborate attire, are on full display in this image. The rich fabrics, intricate embroidery, and ornate jewels adorning her person reflect the opulence and grandeur of the Tudor and Jacobean courts. The Duke of Richmond, a Scottish nobleman and claimant to the English throne, was a man of considerable power and influence. His third marriage to Duchesse of Richmond, a woman of noble birth and considerable charm, solidified his position and enhanced his prestige. The exact date of this portrait is unknown, but it is believed to have been created sometime between 1578 and 1639. The artist is also unknown, but the mastery of technique and the intricate details suggest the hand of a skilled and experienced painter. This portrait offers a glimpse into the opulent world of the Tudor and Jacobean courts, a time of grandeur, intrigue, and political maneuvering. It is a testament to the beauty, elegance, and power of Duchesse of Richmond, a woman who played a significant role in the political and social landscape of her time.
