1630 Barham Countess Mervyn Elizabeth Touchet
EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite portrait captures Elizabeth Barham, Countess of Castlehaven, in her prime during the early 17th century. Daughter of Sir John Barham and Anne Clifford, Elizabeth's marriage to Mervyn Touchet, the second Earl of Castlehaven, was a significant social event in the gentry circles of England. The painting, believed to have been created around 1630, showcases Elizabeth's refined elegance and beauty. Her intricately designed gown, adorned with lace and pearls, reflects the opulence of the era, while her expressive eyes convey a sense of intelligence and poise. As the Countess of Castlehaven, Elizabeth would have played a vital role in her husband's household and estate management, as well as representing her family's interests in various social and political contexts. The portrait offers a glimpse into the life of a noblewoman during this period, highlighting the importance of status, appearance, and the role of women in the gentry class.
