About the piece
Attributed to Robert Peake the Elder around 1600, this portrait captures the opulent fashion of the late Elizabethan and early Jacobean era. The sitter, traditionally identified as Mary Clopton, wears a richly textured gown adorned with pomegranate motifs, a gossamer-thin lace ruff, and elaborate jewelry that signifies her high social status.
