EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures Lucy Percy, Countess of Carlisle (1599-1660), the second wife of James Hay, 1st Earl of Carlisle. Born into the Percy family, one of the most influential in the north of England, Lucy's marriage to the influential political figure, Earl of Carlisle, marked a significant moment in her life. The Earl of Carlisle was a prominent figure in English politics during the tumultuous 17th century, with close associations to prominent political figures such as Strafford and Pym. This connection is evident in Lucy's portrait, which exudes an air of sophistication and political acumen. Lucy's striking features, with her piercing gaze and elegant neckline, are accentuated by the intricate lace collar and the rich fabric of her dress. The portrait, which dates from the late 1600s, is a testament to the artistic skill of the period, with the meticulous attention to detail and the subtle use of color. Despite the political turmoil of the time, Lucy's portrait conveys a sense of calm and composure, reflecting the inner strength and resilience of a woman who navigated the complexities of courtly life with grace and dignity. Her marriage to the Earl of Carlisle not only secured her place in the upper echelons of English society but also allowed her to play a role in shaping the political landscape of the time. This portrait of Lucy Percy, Countess of Carlisle, is a valuable historical artifact that offers a glimpse into the life of a remarkable woman who defied the conventions of her time and left an indelible mark on English history.
