About the piece
Painted in 1601 by Marcus Gheeraerts the Younger, this portrait depicts a noblewoman, likely Mary, Lady Scudamore. The work is a masterclass in Tudor-Jacobean portraiture, highlighting the meticulous rendering of the sitter's starched ruff, layered pearls, and jewel-encrusted cap against a dark, somber background.
