Anne Hyde, Duchess of York (1637-71) is depicted seated wearing a sumptuous amber coloured silk gown and holding in her right hand a tress of her hair that hangs loosely around her. This full-length design appears to have been painted later than the three-quarter length version which is also in the Royal Collection (RCIN 405641). Anne Hyde regularly patronised Lely and there were ten copies of his portraits of her in his studio at the time of his death.
Provenance
First recorded in the Great Bedchamber at Hampton Court in 1710 (no 15), where it remained until 1819, by which time the room was called the King's State Bedchamber
