1640s fashion

Joseph Highmore English, 1692-1780 Oil on canvas This young Englishwoman's portrait contains evidence of her wealth, education, status, and leisure time. By showing her dressed in a dazzling gown and carrying a book in a parklike setting, the artist suggests she is about to pursue an afternoon of quiet study on the grounds of a country house.

Henrietta of England was an English princess who lived during the 17th century. She belonged to the House of Stuart and after her marriage to Philippe I, Duke of Orléans, became the Duchess of Orléans. Despite being an English princess, Henrietta spent the majority of her life in France and was a prominent figure in the court of her brother-in-law, the French king, Louis XIV.
