EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the timeless beauty of Anne Leighton, Lady St. John, in the year 1615. Painted by William Larkin, a renowned artist of his time, this print showcases Lady St. John's elegance and grace. Anne Leighton was the beloved wife of Sir John St. John, a prominent Royalist during the English Civil War. The couple resided in Lydiard Tregoze, Wiltshire, where they raised their thirteen children together. Tragically, three of their children lost their lives in the war. In this portrait, Lady St. John stands proudly against an idyllic English landscape background adorned with an oak tree symbolizing strength and resilience - qualities that she undoubtedly possessed as a loyal supporter of the monarchy. Her attire is exquisitely detailed; acorns and oak leaves are delicately embroidered on her collar as a nod to her connection with nature and her husband's noble lineage. Lady St. John's lace-trimmed gown adds to her allure while emphasizing her status as an influential figure within society. With its soft colors and intricate details, this portrait not only showcases Lady St. John's physical beauty but also serves as a testament to her unwavering loyalty to both family and country. This remarkable piece from Mark Fiennes' archive allows us to appreciate the enduring legacy of Anne Leighton, Lady St. John - a woman whose strength and resilience continue to inspire generations even today.
