EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable portrait of Robert Devereux, the 2nd Earl of Essex. Painted by Isaac Oliver in the late 16th century, this vellum artwork is beautifully framed with tortoiseshell and a gold mount, adding to its exquisite allure. In the painting, Devereux stands confidently in full-length attire, adorned in an intricately embroidered white doublet and hose. His collar and ruff are delicately trimmed with lace while he proudly displays the Lesser George of the Order of the Garter around his neck on a blue ribbon. The garter itself can be seen wrapped around his left calf. With a fencing sword hanging at his side from a golden belt around his waist, Devereux exudes both elegance and strength. His right hand rests on a table covered in mauve velvet cloth, holding onto a Marshal's staff as he gazes into the distance. The setting is richly detailed; an opulent interior with draped curtains serves as an elegant backdrop for this noble figure. A carpet beneath him adds further grandeur to the scene. This photograph captures not only Devereux's striking appearance but also offers us insight into Elizabethan and Jacobean fashion trends through its portrayal of elaborate costumes such as doublets and helmets. Overall, this enchanting image provides viewers with a glimpse into history while showcasing Oliver's exceptional talent for capturing both physical likeness and regal presence.
