In this exquisite print by J. Thomson after Sir Peter Lely's original painting, Elizabeth Bagot is depicted with grace and elegance. Her regal presence commands attention as she gazes directly at the viewer with confidence. A fascinating detail in the portrait is her choice to hold a cannonball on her lap.
