EDITORS COMMENTS
This self-portrait by Mary Beale, painted around 1660 in London, offers a rare glimpse into the intimate world of a 17th-century family. Mary Beale, a renowned British portrait painter of the Stuart era, skillfully captured herself in this oil painting, along with her husband, Charles Beale, and their young son, Bartholomew. The trio is arranged in a horizontal composition, with Mary seated in the center, her husband standing behind her, and their son playfully peeking out from her lap. The warm, rich colors of the painting exude a sense of comfort and love. Mary's dress, adorned with intricate lace and a deep brown bodice, stands out against the muted background. Her husband, Charles, wears a simple brown coat and waistcoat, while their son, Bartholomew, is dressed in a red jacket and white collar, adding a pop of color to the image. The painting is framed in a beautifully carved and gilded pine frame from the late 17th or early 18th century. The ornate design enhances the overall elegance and sophistication of the artwork, making it a truly stunning addition to any collection. Mary Beale's self-portrait with her husband and son is a testament to the love and connection shared between a family during the Stuart era. The painting's intricate details and vibrant colors bring the subjects to life, allowing us to connect with them on a personal level and appreciate the bond between a mother, father, and son.
