EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 16th-century portrait captures the ethereal beauty and grace of Princess Elizabeth of Bohemia, also known as the Fair Forester. Daughter of King James I of England and Scotland, she was born in 1596 and would later marry the Elector Palatine, Friedrich V, in 1613. The Princess is depicted in this image wearing a sumptuous green gown, adorned with intricate gold embroidery and lace. Her long, chestnut locks cascade down her back, framing her delicate features. In her hands, she holds a knife, a symbol of her status as a skilled hunter, a pastime much favored by the nobility of the time. Surrounding the Princess are her loyal companions - a pair of greyhounds and a majestic horse. The greyhounds, with their sleek coats and alert expressions, seem ready to accompany their mistress on a hunt. The horse, with its regal bearing and ornate harness, adds to the grandeur of the scene. In the background, a stag stands frozen in the forest, its antlers a testament to the Princess's skill as a hunter. The verdant greenery of the forest creates a serene and idyllic setting, enhancing the sense of tranquility and beauty of the portrait. Princess Elizabeth's marriage to Friedrich V marked the beginning of a tumultuous period in European history, as the Palatinate became a focal point of the Thirty Years' War. Despite the challenges that lay ahead, this portrait captures a moment of peace and elegance in the life of a young and vibrant princess.
