About the piece

Painted in 1638, this portrait by Anthony van Dyck captures Lady Dorothy Dacre with the luminous skin tones and fluid, confident brushwork characteristic of his most celebrated English period. Dressed in a magnificent white satin gown that catches the light against a deep, atmospheric background, the sitter exudes the poise and sartorial refinement of the Stuart court.
