1612 Died Nicolas Viscount Viscountess Douglas
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative portrait captures Lady Nicolas Douglas, the wife of Sir Robert Douglas, later Viscount Belhaven, in the year 1612. Lady Nicolas, whose given name is not recorded in historical documents, is depicted as a graceful and elegant woman of the Scottish nobility, with a refined and serene expression. Her intricately embroidered gown, adorned with pearls and lace, reflects the opulence and wealth of the Scottish aristocracy during this period. The subtle details of her jewelry, including a pearl necklace and earrings, add to her regal appearance. Sir Robert Douglas, the subject of her marriage, was a prominent Scottish nobleman who served as a member of the Privy Council under King James VI. He was later created Viscount Belhaven in 1612, but it appears that Lady Nicolas did not survive to see this honor bestowed upon her husband. The exact date of her death is unknown, but this portrait provides a poignant reminder of her beauty and status as the wife of a powerful Scottish lord. The portrait offers a glimpse into the lives of the Scottish nobility during the early 17th century, a time of political intrigue, power struggles, and cultural flourishing. The intricate details of Lady Nicolas's attire and the subtle expressions of her face reveal the care and attention given to the art of portraiture during this period, making this an invaluable historical record.
