EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Elizabeth St. Michel Pepys, the wife of renowned English diarist Samuel Pepys. In this etching, she is depicted as St. Catherine, holding a palm frond - a symbol of martyrdom and victory over death. The artwork was created by John Hayls in 1666, based on a lost portrait. Elizabeth's elegance and grace are beautifully captured in this image. Her curly hair cascades down her shoulders, framing her face with an air of sophistication. The low neckline of her dress reveals just a hint of décolletage, adding to the allure and mystique surrounding her persona. As St. Catherine, Elizabeth embodies strength and devotion to her faith. Holding the palm frond delicately in one hand while resting the other on her chest, she exudes both serenity and determination. The artist's attention to detail is remarkable - from every strand of hair meticulously etched onto the paper to the intricate folds of Elizabeth's gown that create depth and texture. This print allows us to glimpse into history and appreciate not only Elizabeth's beauty but also her role as an influential figure during this period. It serves as a reminder of the rich tapestry woven by individuals like Elizabeth St. Michel Pepys who left their mark on society through artistry or otherwise.
