About the piece
Painted around 1660, this portrait by Sir Peter Lely showcases the artist's characteristic mastery of texture and light. The sitter is depicted with soft, luminous skin and intricate ringlets, accented by a vibrant blue drape that provides a bold, sophisticated contrast to the earthy tones of the rocky landscape background.
