EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait, titled "Portrait of a Woman, Traditionally Identified as Mary Clopton (born Waldegrave)" is a stunning representation of the Elizabethan era. Painted by Robert Peake the Elder around 1551-1619 in Britain, this oil on panel artwork showcases his exceptional talent and attention to detail. The woman depicted in the painting exudes elegance and grace. She wears an exquisite costume adorned with pearls and roses, symbolizing her status and beauty. Her attire features intricate embroidery and delicate lace, reflecting the fashion trends of the time. In her hands, she holds a pomegranate - a fruit associated with fertility and abundance. This choice may suggest that she was married or desired to have children. Surrounding her are corn stalks, representing prosperity and wealth. The identity of this mysterious lady has been traditionally linked to Mary Clopton (born Waldegrave) from Kentwell Hall in Suffolk. However, historical records remain inconclusive about this attribution. Regardless of her true identity, this portrait captures not only an individual but also provides us with a glimpse into the opulent lifestyle of Elizabethan society. It serves as a testament to Peake's skillful portrayal of his subjects' inner essence through their outward appearance. Displayed proudly within The Liszt Collection archives, this remarkable piece continues to inspire awe for its artistic brilliance while inviting viewers to imagine themselves transported back in time to experience the splendor of Renaissance England firsthand.
