EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Eleanor Nell Gwyn, the enchanting English-born mistress of King Charles II during the 17th century. Created in 1937 by artist Alexander K MacDonald, this exquisite portrait captures the essence of Nell Gwyn's beauty and allure. Standing against a vibrant blue backdrop on a picturesque road, she exudes confidence and grace. Nell Gwyn is depicted wearing an elegant bonnet and a stunning dress that perfectly complements her radiant complexion. With oranges in hand, symbolizing her humble beginnings as a fruit seller before capturing the heart of the king, she represents resilience and triumph over adversity. The composition beautifully encapsulates the spirit of the era with its attention to detail in clothing style and street scenery. The image transports us back to 17th-century England while simultaneously reflecting elements of 1930s fashion. As one gazes upon this print, it is impossible not to be captivated by Nell Gwyn's charm and charisma. Her hands confidently rest on her hips, suggesting both flirtation and self-assurance. This portrayal immortalizes her as one of history's most famous mistresses. Preserved within John Player & Sons' cigarette card series Famous Beauties, this artwork serves as a testament to Nell Gwyn's enduring legacy as well as Alexander K MacDonald's artistic talent. It allows us to appreciate both historical figures who have left an indelible mark on their respective fields - Nell Gwynne for her influence over King Charles II and MacDonald for his ability to capture beauty through his brushstrokes or pencil lines.
