Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Enoch Seeman (Gdansk circa 1694 - 1745 London)
Portrait of Elizabeth Somers (1655-1745), three-quarter length, in a white dress inscribed centre right: Eliz Somers / Wife of Sr. Ioseph Iekel Kt oil on canvas; 126.9 x 103 cm. The sitter was the daughter of John Somers, a Worcester attorney, and his wife Catherine Ceaverne. Her elder brother was John Somers, who became a significant figure during the period when William III replaced James II as King, and later served as Lord Chancellor. In 1697 she married Sir Joseph Jekyll (1662-1738), who became a member of the Middle Temple, the same Inn as his brother-in-law, John Somers. It was under Somers’ aegis that Jekyll became M.P. for Eye in 1697, the same year that he became Chief Justice of Chester. Jekyll’s legal career was distinguished, and in 1717 he was made Master of the Rolls and a Privy Councillor. He had a reputation as a man of great probity and high moral standards. |
