EDITORS COMMENTS
Anne Russell, Countess of Worcester (circa 1583-1639): A Portrait of Regal Grace and Beauty This exquisite portrait captures Anne Russell, Countess of Worcester, in the prime of her life. Daughter of the third Earl of Bedford and Frances Russell, the Countess of Bedford, Anne was married to Henry Somerset, the fifth Earl of Worcester, in 1604. The attribution of this portrait to Lady Hunsdon is mistaken, as it is now widely accepted that this stunning image is indeed of Anne Russell. The Countess of Worcester's elegant attire and poised demeanor reflect the refined taste and sophistication of the Jacobean era. Her intricately embroidered gown, adorned with pearls and lace, is a testament to the opulence and grandeur of the time. Her dark, curled hair is styled in an elaborate, fashionable updo, framing her delicate features and expressive eyes. Anne Russell was known for her intelligence, wit, and charm. She was a patron of the arts and a generous benefactor to various charitable causes. Her marriage to Henry Somerset was a happy one, and they had ten children together. The Countess of Worcester's tragic death in 1639, at the age of 56, was deeply mourned by her family and the community. This portrait, created around the year of her death, serves as a poignant reminder of Anne Russell's regal grace, beauty, and enduring legacy. The intricacies of her attire and the subtle nuances of her expression continue to captivate viewers, offering a glimpse into the rich history and culture of the Jacobean period.
