About the piece
Painted in 1684 by Willem Wissing, this masterfully executed oil portrait depicts Elizabeth Jones, Countess of Kildare, in a pastoral allegory. Adorned in a rich, embroidered gown and a pearl necklace, she holds a floral staff and is accompanied by a lamb, reflecting the courtly Baroque fashion for idyllic, rural themes combined with aristocratic dignity.
