EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking portrait of Robert Dudley, 1st Earl of Leicester, was created by the renowned Dutch artist Karel van Sichem (also known as Christoffel van Sichem the Elder) during the 16th or early 17th century. The image captures Dudley in the height of aristocratic fashion, donning an elaborate headdress adorned with feathers and a richly textured, velvet doublet. His boots, with their high, carved heels and intricate designs, are a testament to the importance of footwear in the Baroque era. Dudley's pose, with one hand resting on the hilt of his sword and the other holding a riding crop, suggests his affinity for horse riding, a popular pastime among the aristocracy. The engraving also showcases his impressive armor, which includes a helmet, chest piece, and gauntlets, further emphasizing his military prowess and status as a nobleman. The monochrome print is a valuable addition to any art collection, providing a glimpse into the fashion and lifestyle of the aristocracy during the Baroque era. The image has been preserved in the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., allowing future generations to appreciate the artistic and historical significance of this portrait.
