About the piece
Painted around 1661 by Sir Peter Lely, this portrait captures Anne Hyde, Duchess of York, in a moment of poised elegance. Seated beside a fountain adorned with a putto, she is draped in a luminous gold silk gown and a striking blue mantle that highlight the artist's mastery of light and texture. Lely, the leading portraitist of the Restoration era, presents the Duchess with the characteristic grace and dignity of the Stuart court.
