Summary
DescriptionPortrait of Katherine Lady Leveson (1598-1674).jpg |
English: Cornelius Johnson (also known as Cornelis Janssens van Ceulen)
London 1593 - 1661 Utrecht Portrait of Katherine Lady Leveson (1598-1674), half-length, wearing a black and white dress, a white ruff and a pearl rope signed and dated lower right: C.J. fecit / 1625 oil on oak panel, in a painted oval unframed: 77.5 x 60.5 cm.; 30½ x 23¾ in. framed: 91.1 x 78.3 cm.; 35⅞ x 30⅞ in. Katherine Leveson was the daughter of the explorer Sir Robert Dudley (1574-1649), illegitimate son of Robert Dudley, 1st Earl of Leicester (1532-88) and favourite of Elizabeth I, by his first wife, Alice (b. 1579), daughter of Sir Thomas Leigh of Stoneleigh. She married Sir Richard Leveson (1598-1661) in 1629, four years after this portrait was painted. The spray of small white roses in her hair, here, were probably intended to symbolise innocence and purity. |
