Portret van Katherine Manners, hertogin van Buckingham 1610 - 1638

Magdalena van de Passe's engraving, "Portret van Katherine Manners, hertogin van Buckingham," depicts Katherine Manners, Duchess of Buckingham, in a striking portrait. Created between 1610 and 1638, the print showcases the Duchess in a refined pose, holding a fan and adorned in elaborate lace and jewelry, characteristic of the fashion of the era. This intimate and detailed work offers a glimpse into the life of a prominent noblewoman during the early 17th century. The engraving, housed in the Rijksmuseum, stands as a testament to van de Passe's skill in capturing both likeness and elegance within the small dimensions of the print.
