EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print showcases Lady Mildred Cooke, a remarkable woman of the Elizabethan era. Painted with watercolor and gouache on paper by Sarah Countess of Essex in 1825, this artwork is part of the Memoirs of the Court of Queen Elizabeth collection. Lady Burghley was not only known for her beauty but also for her intelligence and education. As a learned female figure, she defied societal norms and became an influential presence during her time. The painting captures her elegance as she adorns herself with exquisite embroidery and jewelry, reflecting both her status and refined taste. Her elaborate collar and dress are typical examples of 16th-century costume, showcasing the fashion trends prevalent during that period. Lady Burghley's ruff adds a touch of grandeur to her ensemble, emphasizing her noble lineage. The artist skillfully portrays Lady Mildred Cooke's gracefulness while capturing the essence of an empowered woman who played a significant role in society. This portrait serves as a testament to Lady Burghley's legacy as not just the mother of Robert Cecil but also as an individual who left an indelible mark on history. Displayed within The Stapleton Collection at a private location, this painting offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate both its artistic merit and historical significance.
