Margaret, Countess of Pembroke and Montgomery (nee Sawyer): A Portrait of Elegance and Grace (circa 1680-1706) This exquisite portrait captures the enchanting beauty and regal bearing of Margaret, Countess of Pembroke and Montgomery, the first wife of Thomas Herbert, 8th Earl of Pembroke and Montgomery. The painting, believed to have been created around the turn of the 18th century, showcases Margaret's striking features, with her piercing blue eyes, delicate complexion, and elegant neckline framed by a lace collar. Her dark, curled hair is styled in an intricate arrangement, adorned with a pearl and diamond headpiece that adds an air of sophistication and wealth. Margaret, born a Sawyer, was the daughter of Sir John Sawyer, a wealthy landowner from Devon, England. She married Thomas Herbert, the 8th Earl of Pembroke and Montgomery, in 1680, and the couple had five children together. Margaret's marriage to the earl marked a significant moment in the history of the Herbert family, as she brought a substantial dowry and valuable connections to the union. Tragically, Margaret passed away in 1706, leaving behind her husband and their children. Her death was a profound loss for the Herbert family, and she was deeply mourned by her loved ones. This portrait serves as a poignant reminder of Margaret's beauty, grace, and the important role she played in the history of the Pembroke and Montgomery lineage. The intricate detail and masterful execution of this portrait are a testament to the artistic skill of the painter, who expertly captured the essence of Margaret's character and the elegance of the period. This image invites us to explore the rich history of the Herbert family and the fascinating life of Margaret, Countess of Pembroke and Montgomery.
