1660s Curls Davis Harding Neckline Oval Artists
EDITORS COMMENTS
Mary Davis, also known by her married name Mary Harding, was a prominent English actress of the 1660s. This oval print showcases the beauty and elegance of this talented performer. Mary is depicted wearing an intricately designed low-neckline gown, adorned with lace and ruffles, which was a popular fashion choice during the Restoration period. Her long, curly locks cascade down her shoulders, framing her face and accentuating her expressive features. Mary Davis began her acting career in the late 1650s, performing in theatres that had been closed during the Puritan Interregnum. Her talent and charisma quickly earned her a place among the leading actresses of her time. She was particularly renowned for her ability to convey a wide range of emotions, from tragic sorrow to comedic merriment. This print offers a glimpse into the world of Restoration theatre, a time of artistic and cultural rebirth following the Civil War. Theatres were once again filled with the sound of laughter and the thrill of live performance, and actresses like Mary Davis were at the forefront of this revival. Her legacy continues to inspire and captivate audiences today, as a reminder of the power of the arts to bring people together and transport us to another time and place.
