The Right Honorable Elizabeth Countess of Northumberland

Isaak Beckett after Sir Peter Lely

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a seated woman in a half-body view, reclining against a stone structure. Her curly hair cascades over her shoulders. She wears an elaborate dress with puffed sleeves and a low neckline, holding a bouquet of flowers in her left hand. A bracelet adorns her right wrist. The background shows lush foliage, two putti sculptures, and large classical columns.
