EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases James Douglas, the 2nd Duke of Queensberry, in an exquisite engraved portrait by Louis du Guernier II. The image captures the nobleman's commanding presence and regal demeanor. James Douglas (1662-1711) was not only a duke but also held prestigious titles such as Knight of the Garter, Secretary of State, and Keeper of the Privy Seal of Scotland. His accomplishments are reflected in this portrait that exudes power and authority. The artist, Louis du Guernier II (1677-1716), skillfully brings out every detail with his masterful engraving technique. The intricate lines beautifully depict Douglas wearing an elegant wig adorned with a crown on top. He is dressed in a magnificent coat embellished with his family's arms and a medallion hanging from his collar. Douglas stands against a backdrop featuring robes and mantles symbolizing his high status within society. Notably, he proudly displays insignia including crosses and other courtly decorations that further emphasize his aristocratic lineage. This remarkable piece serves as both a historical record and an artistic masterpiece capturing the essence of James Douglas' influential role during this period. It is now part of a private collection but continues to inspire awe for its portrayal of nobility, elegance, and prestige.
