Portrait of Katherine Lady Leveson (1598-1674), half-length, wearing a black and white dress, a white ruff and a pearl rope

unframed: 77.5 x 60.5 cm.; 30½ x 23¾ in.

Katherine Leveson was the daughter of the explorer Sir Robert Dudley (1574-1649), illegitimate son of Robert Dudley, 1st Earl of Leicester (1532-88) and favourite of Elizabeth I, by his first wife, Alice (b. 1579), daughter of Sir Thomas Leigh of Stoneleigh. She married Sir Richard Leveson (1598-1661) in 1629, four years after this portrait was painted. The spray of small white roses in her hair, here, were probably intended to symbolise innocence and purity.
