EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting steel engraving, titled 'Elizabeth Jane Somerville, Daughter of Sir William Somerville, 1st Baron Athlumney,' showcases the captivating likeness of young Elizabeth Jane, a charming member of the aristocratic Somerville family. The portrait, created by William Henry Mote after an illustration by Daniel Maclise, was originally published in Charles Heath's 'Portraits of the Children of the Nobility' in 1838. Elizabeth Jane, with her expressive eyes and rosy cheeks, is depicted in a graceful pose as she plays the piano, her shoulders relaxed and her posture elegant. Her dress, adorned with intricate lace and ribbons, reflects the Victorian era's penchant for ornate and delicate fashion. The young girl's ringlets cascade down her back, adding a playful touch to her otherwise formal attire. Surrounding Elizabeth Jane are various toys, including a tea set and a ball, suggesting a lively and imaginative spirit. The presence of a cushion at her feet indicates that this portrait was likely taken in a comfortable and familiar setting. The Somerville family, including sisters Henrietta Louisa, Priscilla Geraldine, Harriet, and Geraldine, were part of the aristocratic circle of the 7th Duke of Beaufort. This portrait of Elizabeth Jane, along with her siblings Alfred Edward and Henry, is a testament to the beauty and elegance of the children of the nobility during the Victorian era. The intricately detailed steel engraving, produced by Alfred Edward Chalon, captures the essence of a young girl's innocence and joy, making it a cherished piece of history and art.
