EDITORS COMMENTS
In this exquisite portrait, we behold Letitia, Viscountess Falkland, née Morison (1610-1646), a woman of remarkable beauty and grace. Daughter of Sir John Morison of Newbattle, Letitia was the wife of Lucius Cary, 2nd Viscount Falkland. The portrait, painted around the turn of the 17th century, captures the essence of Letitia's youthful charm and refined elegance. Letitia's attire is a testament to the opulence and grandeur of the era. Her rich, red gown, adorned with intricate gold embroidery, is a symbol of her noble status. The delicate lace collar and cuffs add a touch of femininity to her regal appearance. Her dark, curled hair is styled in an elaborate arrangement, framing her delicate features and accentuating her piercing, dark eyes. Letitia's expression is one of quiet contemplation, as if lost in thought or deep in conversation. Her hands are delicately folded in her lap, a sign of her refined manners and ladylike demeanor. The background of the portrait is simple, allowing the viewer's focus to remain on Letitia's captivating presence. As the wife of a powerful and influential nobleman, Letitia would have been expected to uphold the highest standards of conduct and decorum. This portrait serves as a reminder of her beauty, grace, and the role she played in the aristocratic society of the early 17th century. Letitia's life was marked by tragedy and loss. She outlived her husband by several decades and was buried in the family vault at Newbattle Abbey. Her legacy, however, endures through this stunning portrait, which continues to captivate and inspire viewers with its timeless beauty and historical significance.
