About the piece
Painted in 1682 by Simon Du Bois, this portrait depicts Elizabeth, Lady Jones in striking black mourning dress and a delicate sheer veil. The work utilizes a trompe-l'oeil feigned oval frame, a popular 17th-century compositional device that adds architectural depth to the sitter's quiet, contemplative expression and dark, atmospheric palette.
