EDITORS COMMENTS
Mrs Nott, formerly known as Mrs Stanley, is depicted in this stunning 17th-century portrait painted circa 1670. The portrait, which bears the signature of the artist Wissing, showcases Mrs Nott as a lady of the court of King Charles II. Her elegant attire, adorned with intricate lace and a richly textured fabric, reflects the opulence and grandeur of the Restoration period. The delicate embroidery on her cuffs and the ruff at her neck are typical of the fashionable styles of the time. Mrs Nott's expression is serene and self-assured, with a hint of a smile playing at the corners of her lips. Her dark, curly hair is styled in an elaborate updo, held in place by a diamond and pearl headpiece. The background of the portrait is simple, with a plain, dark fabric providing a subtle contrast to Mrs Nott's vibrant outfit. The identity of Mrs Nott is not definitively known, but it is believed that she was a member of the English nobility or a wealthy courtier. Her connection to King Charles II is evident from her status as a lady of the court. The portrait offers a glimpse into the lives of the wealthy and powerful women of the Restoration period, who were known for their beauty, fashion, and influence at court. This portrait is a testament to the artistic skill of the artist Wissing, who captured the essence of Mrs Nott's elegance and refinement. The painting is a valuable historical document, providing insights into the fashion, culture, and social hierarchy of the Restoration period in England.
