EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating portrait of Cicely, daughter of Sir Thomas More, captured in this 1812 engraving by Hans Holbein the Younger, transports viewers back to the elegance and nobility of 16th century Europe. At just twenty years old, Cicely exudes a sense of grace and poise that reflects her privileged upbringing as the daughter of one of England's most esteemed statesmen. Marie Anne Bourlier's handcoloured copperplate stipple engraving beautifully brings out the intricate details and subtle nuances in Holbein's original portrait. The delicate brushstrokes highlight Cicely's youthful features - her porcelain skin, rosy cheeks, and piercing gaze - while also capturing the essence of Renaissance artistry. Cicely More was not only known for her beauty but also for her marriage to Giles Heron, who was under Sir Thomas More's guardianship. This union further solidified her place within English society at the time. As we admire this exquisite print from a private collection today, we are reminded not only of Cicely's individuality but also how she represents an era marked by cultural richness and intellectual pursuits. This image serves as a window into both personal history and broader historical context. Through this engraving, we can appreciate both Holbein’s artistic talent and his ability to capture the spirit and character of his subjects. It is a testament to his skill that even after centuries have passed since its creation; this portrait continues to captivate viewers with its timeless beauty.
