[4] Portrait of a Lady BY VAN DYCK

Once supposed to be a portrait of Lady Elizabeth Fielding, third daughter of the first Earl of Denbigh, who married in 1639. He was Viscount Boyle of Kynalmeaky; was afterwards created Countess of Guildford 1660 in her own right. She died 1673.

Three-quarter figure seated to the left looking at the spectator, her left hand resting on the arm of the chair; dark gold embroidered dress, high stiff ruff.

" Two portraits of young Flemish ladies in the Liechtenstein Gallery at Vienna are good examples of this (his Flemish) style of portraits. More sedate is the charming lady who sits in a large chair, in the portrait belonging to the Earl of Denbigh at Newnham Paddox."
