The artist painted this portrait during his stay in England, being the courtier of King Charles I. This is the ceremonial portrait of Lady Elizabeth Timbleby and Dorothy of the viscountess of Andover. He captured two sisters – Catholics on the eve of Dorothy’s wedding. In the hands of the bride the basket with roses, the attribute of her holiness, the patroness of brides.
With great skill the artist conveys the glitter of satin dresses of beauties, delicately writes out their artfully curled hair and jewelry, which accentuates the charm of their faces. But the look of these charmers does not express any feelings or experiences – it’s just a portrait-statement.
