Description: | Set against a plain background, Lady Elizabeth Percy is shown wearing a low-cut satin dress. The style of the costume dates the portrait to the years of the Commonwealth. During the Commonwealth, royalists such as the Capel family continued to patronise Lely. The attention to texture and the features of the sitter follows the poetic style for which Lely had become famous following his arrival in England. | Subjects: | portrait (Lady Elizabeth Percy) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Lely, Peter (Dutch painter and draftsman, 1618-1680, active in England) Æ Attributed to studio of | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8342... | Go to resource |
