Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Lady Teresia Shirley was the wife of the Sussex adventurer, Sir Robert Shirley, a Circassian by birth and the daughter of Ishmael Khan. The Shirleys travelled a great deal, but were in England from 1611 to 1612/13 - a date which fits with the costume of this portrait. The embroidery on her dress includes honeysuckles, signifying love, and strawberries, symbolising fruitfulness. These emblems may have a special meaning as the Shirley's child, Henry, was born during their short stay in England. Countess Shirley also wears black thread around her neck and disappearing into her bodice. The thread would have been attached to a keep-sake, such as a ring or miniature, hidden from view.
