1749 1812 Alexander Depicted Duchess Fourth Gordon Jane Maxwell Tudor
EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures Jane Maxwell, the first wife of Alexander, the Fourth Duke of Gordon, dressed in the elegant attire of the Tudor era. Born in 1749, Jane was the daughter of the 3rd Earl of Nithsdale and Lady Jean Maxwell. In 1763, at the young age of fourteen, she married the Duke of Gordon, who was over three decades her senior. The marriage was a significant political alliance, as the Duke of Gordon was a powerful figure in Scottish and British politics. Despite the age difference, the couple is believed to have had a loving and harmonious relationship. Jane was known for her beauty, intelligence, and grace, and she played an active role in the social and political life of the Duke's court. She was also an accomplished musician and patron of the arts. In this portrait, Jane is depicted wearing a sumptuous Tudor-style gown, adorned with intricate embroidery and rich fabrics. The elaborate headdress and jewels complete the regal look. The portrait is a testament to the opulence and grandeur of the Scottish aristocracy during the late 18th century. Jane, Duchess of Gordon, lived until 1812, and her passing was mourned deeply by the Duke and the Scottish people. She left behind a legacy of beauty, grace, and elegance that continues to captivate us today. This portrait is a rare and precious glimpse into the life of a remarkable woman who played an important role in Scottish and British history.
