EDITORS COMMENTS
Barbara Palmer, Duchess of Cleveland, was a prominent figure in English history during the 17th and 18th centuries. Born into a noble family, she rose to prominence as the mistress of King Charles II of England, known as the Merry Monarch for his legendary love life. In this engraving by Richard Earlom, based on an original drawing by Faithorne, the Duchess is depicted in mourning attire, following the death of her husband, the 1st Duke of Cleveland, in 1709. The Duchess, who was also known as Lady Castlemaine and Countess of Castlemaine, is shown wearing a black and white dress, typical of the mourning fashion of the time. The portrait captures the elegance and sophistication of the aristocracy during the Restoration period in England. The Duchess's marriage to the Duke of Cleveland was a significant political alliance, as he was a close friend and confidant of King Charles II. The engraving is from 'Portraits of characters illustrious in British History from the beginning of the reign of Henry the Eighth to the end of the reign of James the Second' published in London in 1815.
