Venetia, Lady Digby Greetings Card

Regular price £4.00

Blank greetings card with envelope featuring:

Venetia, Lady Digby NPG 5727

© National Portrait Gallery, London

by Sir Anthony van Dyck

Perhaps painted as a posthumous tribute to Lady Digby, who is shown as Prudence, trampling on Profane Love and spurning two-faced Deceit. The doves and the snake she holds allude to St Matthew: 'Be ye therefore wise as serpents and harmless as doves'.
