EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print showcases the iconic Queen Elizabeth I of England, dating back to around 1586-87. Painted by Nicholas Hilliard, her official limner, this watercolor on vellum masterpiece measures a mere 3.2x1.3 cm and is currently housed in the National Museum in Stockholm, Sweden. Queen Elizabeth I was renowned for her regal presence and powerful reign during the Tudor era. In this exquisite painting, she exudes an air of authority and elegance befitting a monarch. Her intricate jewelry adorns her neck and wrists while a round cameo brooch adds a touch of sophistication to her attire. The queen's elaborate costume features an ornate ruff collar that frames her face with delicate lace detailing. The vibrant colors used by Hilliard bring out the richness of her royal garments, showcasing the opulence associated with Elizabethan fashion. With every brushstroke expertly executed by Hilliard's hand, this miniature portrait captures not only Queen Elizabeth I's physical likeness but also reflects the status and power she held as one of history's most influential female rulers. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of artistry from centuries past, we are transported back to an era where aristocracy reigned supreme and Britain flourished under its beloved queen's rule.
