EDITORS COMMENTS
In this portrait, we are introduced to Elizabeth Jones, the elegant Countess of Kildare. Painted by the talented Dutch artist Willem Wissing around 1656-1687, this oil on canvas print showcases the countess in a unique role - that of a shepherdess. Seated gracefully amidst a picturesque landscape, Elizabeth exudes both poise and natural beauty. Her luscious curls cascade down her shoulders as she gazes serenely into the distance. Surrounding her are gentle sheep, symbolizing her newfound connection with nature. Elizabeth's attire is nothing short of exquisite. She wears an intricately designed brocade gown adorned with delicate pearls and fringe details that accentuate her regal status. The careful attention to detail extends even further as she holds a botanical specimen in one hand, showcasing her interest in science and botany. As a shepherdess, Elizabeth embodies both strength and femininity. This portrayal challenges traditional gender roles while highlighting her multifaceted personality. The inscription at the bottom right reveals her identity as "The Countess of Killdare" adding historical significance to this remarkable piece. Willem Wissing's masterful brushstrokes bring forth every nuance of Elizabeth's character and charm. This print from Liszt Collection allows us to appreciate not only the artistic skill but also provides us with a glimpse into the life of an extraordinary woman who defied societal expectations during her time.
