About the piece
Painted in 1659, this sophisticated portrait by Sir Peter Lely depicts Lady Elizabeth Strickland in a gown of lustrous silvery silk. The work showcases Lely's signature mastery of texture and light, particularly in the voluminous folds of the fabric and the soft rendering of the sitter's features against a moody, shadowed backdrop.
