"Venetia Stanley, Lady Digby, on her Death-bed" c. 1633, (see detail) 
by Anthony van Dyke (1599-1641) - Dulwitch Picture Gallery, Dulwitch, England.

Note: Mr. Digby was shocked by his wife's death inher sleep and intended the painting
as a memorial. He wrote " ... when I goe to my bedside ... me thinkes I see her dead
indeed ... van Dyck hath altered or added nothing about it, exepting only a rose lying
upon the heeme of the sheet ...".
