Chatsworth house held many portraits and paintings of both famous and infamous people from century's ago. Although they generally all had a same style of painting technique to them, they had subtle changes through the time periods.
This painting reminds me of a scene from a Harlot's Progress when she is awakening to her maid and the police are coming to arrest her. The general pose this lady is making is similiar to the pose in Harlot's Progress.
King Henry the VIII
Tad blurry, but the woman in the painting reminded me of a how a Harlot may be represented.
General painting of 3 women and a man.
A Bible Scene within the Chapel of Chatsworth.
Another Bible Scene on the Chapel's wall.
One of the many wall paintings; what intrigiues me is how did the make the wall look so realistic and 3D? Just the idea of how many hours these sort of paintings took makes me queasy.
