EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white print depicts George Fitzroy, the 1st Duke of Northumberland, born out of the illicit relationship between King Charles II of England and Barbara Palmer, Duchess of Cleveland. The portrait, created by Robert Dunkarton in 1815, is part of the extensive collection "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." George Fitzroy, dressed in the elegant attire of the 17th century aristocracy, exudes an air of confidence and nobility. His attire, consisting of a richly textured doublet and breeches, is adorned with intricate gold lace and a sash around his waist. The Duke's long, curly hair is styled in the fashion of the time, adding to his regal appearance. Barbara Palmer, the Duchess of Cleveland, was a prominent figure in the court of King Charles II, known for her beauty and charisma. The relationship between the King and the Duchess resulted in the birth of several illegitimate children, including George Fitzroy. Despite the social stigma surrounding illegitimacy, Fitzroy was recognized by his father and granted the title of Duke of Northumberland. The print offers a fascinating glimpse into the fashion and social dynamics of the English aristocracy during the 17th century. The location of the portrait is not specified, but it is believed to have been taken in a grand setting, reflecting the high status of the Duke and his mother. Overall, this image provides a captivating look into the lives of the influential figures of British history.
