EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the enchanting Eleanor (Nell) Gwynne, a prominent figure in 17th-century England. Engraved by Valentine Green in 1777, this exquisite piece beautifully captures the essence of Nell's charisma and allure. Nell Gwynne was not only known for her beauty but also for her remarkable journey from being an orange seller to becoming one of King Charles II's most beloved mistresses. Her rise from humble beginnings to the pinnacle of society is truly remarkable. The photo adds a timeless quality to the image, allowing us to appreciate every intricate detail of Nell's portrait. The skillful engraving technique employed by Valentine Green further enhances the depth and texture of this masterpiece. Peter Lely, a renowned artist of his time, originally painted this portrait as inspiration for Green's engraving. The British Museum in London now houses this historical gem that continues to captivate art enthusiasts worldwide. While Nell Gwynne's bare breasts are depicted in this artwork, it is important to acknowledge that they were considered acceptable within the context of artistic expression during that era. This portrayal serves as a testament to both her sensuality and vulnerability. This extraordinary print immortalizes Eleanor (Nell) Gwynne as an iconic symbol of female empowerment and resilience against societal norms. It reminds us that true beauty lies not only in physical appearance but also in strength, determination, and unwavering spirit.
