EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the essence of Sir Orlando, The Lord Keeper of the Great Seal (1606-1674), in exquisite detail. Painted by Caroline Bridgeman-Simpson between 1816 and 1839, this oil on ivory masterpiece measures a modest 10.2x8.6 cm. Sir Orlando is depicted wearing a black tunic with full sleeves and an elegant lace collar, exuding authority and sophistication. Behind him, a vibrant red curtain adds depth to the composition while providing a striking contrast to his attire. The reverse side of this miniature painting reveals an inscription identifying the subject as Sir Orlando Bridgeman, Lord Keeper. It also mentions that it was inspired by another picture at Chirk Castle. Caroline Bridgeman-Simpson herself was an accomplished artist who tragically passed away at a young age in 1839. Her skillful brushwork shines through in this portrait, capturing not only Sir Orlando's likeness but also his commanding presence. Currently housed within The Weston Park Foundation in Shropshire, UK, this artwork serves as a testament to both Sir Orlando's historical significance and Caroline Bridgeman-Simpson's artistic talent. It stands as a reminder of their contributions to the art world during the early nineteenth century. This remarkable piece invites viewers into history, allowing them to connect with one of England's notable figures from centuries past while appreciating the mastery behind its creation.
