1540 1654 Audley Duchess Fourth Howard Magnificent Margaret Norfolk Tapestry

EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite portrait captures Margaret Duchess of Norfolk (nee Audley), the second wife of Thomas Howard, the Fourth Duke of Norfolk, in all her regal splendor. The painting, believed to have been created between the years 1540 and 1654, showcases Margaret standing proudly in front of an ornate tapestry, her elegant attire adorned with intricate patterns and rich fabrics. Margaret, the daughter of Thomas Audley, 1st Baron Audley of Walden and Lady Elizabeth Grey, was a woman of great beauty and intelligence. She married Thomas Howard, Duke of Norfolk, in 1534, following the death of his first wife, Anne Boleyn, who was infamously beheaded for treason. Margaret's marriage to Norfolk was a strategic one, as she brought a significant dowry to the union and helped to strengthen the Duke's political position. Despite the controversial circumstances surrounding her marriage, Margaret is depicted in this portrait with a serene and confident expression, her posture conveying a sense of grace and dignity. The intricately designed tapestry behind her adds to the opulence of the image, further emphasizing her noble status. This magnificent portrait offers a glimpse into the life of a powerful and influential woman of the Tudor era, providing a fascinating insight into the world of the English aristocracy during this period of history.
