Venetia, Lady Digby Greetings Card
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'.
Card size: 125mm x 175mm
Images are printed in their original proportions, within a white border.
