Introduction An English School cabinet portrait dating from the mid-seventeenth century, painted in the manner of Sir Peter Lely (1618–1680), traditionally identified as Elizabeth Cavendish (née Cecil), Countess of Devonshire (1620–1689), wife of William Cavendish, 3rd Earl of Devonshire. Painted in oil on its original oak panel, the sitter is portrayed in an elegant three-quarter pose wearing a sumptuous cobalt-blue silk mantle secured with an ornate jewelled clasp. A necklace and matching pearl earrings quietly proclaim her aristocratic status, while her composed expression conveys dignity, intelligence and refinement.

Combining refined technique with intimate scale, it reflects the elegance and sophistication associated with portraits commissioned for England's highest-ranking noble families during the seventeenth century.
