專家說明

Lady Lucy Percy's influential position in the Stuart court was well-established. Her celebrated wit and beauty, friendship with Queen Henrietta Maria, and involvement in political affairs cemented her status as one of the most admired and best-known women of her day. Percy was the second surviving daughter of Henry Percy, 9th Earl of Northumberland, and Lady Dorothy Devereux. In 1617 she married James, Lord Hay of Sawley, who in 1622 was created Earl of Carlisle. He was one of many Scots brought to England and favoured by James I and VI.

This painting relates to a portrait at Petworth House, Sussex, originally in the collection of the sitter's brother, Algernon Percy, 10th Earl of Northumberland (1602-1668) and painted after 1637 (O. Millar, 2004, op. cit., p. 455). Sir Oliver Millar described the present work as 'good' and 'early' (O. Millar, op. cit., 1950, p. 24). The painting may have come to Ombersley via Thomas Cheke (see lot 43); Lucy Percy was his first cousin once removed, and the great-aunt of his first wife, Dorothy Sidney.
