Created in 1810 by an unknown artist, this portrait captures the essence of a prominent English courtier from the 17th century. Catherine Sedley was not only known for her beauty but also for her influential role as the mistress of King James II. As one of his most beloved companions, she held great power and influence within the aristocracy during that time. Dressed in an elegant gown with a daring decolletage, Catherine exudes confidence and grace. Her piercing gaze hints at a woman who knows how to navigate the complexities of court life.
