The print titled "The Lady Digby" is a steel engraving created in 1856, engraved by A.J. Annedouche after a painting by Van Dyck (Anthony van Dyck), one of the most celebrated portraitists of the Baroque era. The artwork depicts Lady Digby, a noblewoman, seated gracefully amidst an allegorical and romantic setting. Her elegant attire, featuring flowing drapery and intricate details, reflects her high social status and the artistic finesse of Van Dyck's style. Above her, cherubic angels descend, offering a laurel crown, symbolizing honor, virtue, or triumph. Beside her, she gently cradles a pair of doves, which often symbolize peace, love, or fidelity. At her feet, more cherubic figures engage in playful or symbolic activities, adding a dynamic and ethereal quality to the composition. The engraving reproduces Van Dyck s mastery in capturing the interplay of light, texture, and expression, ensuring fidelity to the original painting housed in the Royal Collection. A.J. Annedouche s engraving technique captures the softness of the original while translating it into a meticulously detailed and textured monochrome work, characteristic of mid-19th-century engraving. This print reflects the 19th-century admiration for historical portraiture and the Romantic movement's fascination with allegory and nobility.Approx Image Size: 10 x 7 ins - Approx Overall Size With Borders : 13 1/2 x 9 1/2 ins CONDITION: FULL PAGE STEEL ENGRAVING.
