EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative portrait, Bathsua Makin, a learned lady and esteemed tutor, is depicted in an elegant and refined manner, reflecting her status as an accomplished educator in the seventeenth century. Flourished in 1673, Bathsua Makin was a trailblazer for women's education during a time when opportunities for formal learning were limited for females. Bathsua Makin's dedication to education began at a young age when she was sent to live with her uncle, the Reverend John Rous, who recognized her intellectual abilities and provided her with a solid foundation in Latin, Greek, and other classical subjects. Her exceptional talents did not go unnoticed, and she soon gained the attention of King Charles I, who entrusted her with the education of his daughters, Princesses Mary and Henrietta Anne. This portrait captures Bathsua Makin in the prime of her career, with her piercing gaze and an air of intelligence and confidence. She is dressed in the fashionable attire of the day, with a ruff collar and a richly embroidered gown, signaling her affluence and social standing. The intricately patterned wallpaper and ornate furnishings in the background further emphasize her refined surroundings. Bathsua Makin's legacy as a tutor and advocate for women's education extended beyond the court. She went on to open her own school for girls, where she taught a curriculum that included grammar, arithmetic, and music, as well as the classics. Her groundbreaking work paved the way for future generations of women to receive a quality education and pursue their intellectual passions. This portrait of Bathsua Makin serves as a testament to her remarkable achievements and her enduring impact on women's education during the seventeenth century. Her dedication, intelligence, and unwavering commitment to learning continue to inspire us today.
