Elizabeth, Queen of England

Crispijn de Passe I

National Gallery of Art

The image is a portrait showing the upper half of a person seated. The individual is facing slightly to the left with their head slightly turned towards the viewer. They have a distinct facial structure with delicate features, including defined cheekbones, a straight nose, and a small mouth. Their hair is curly, styled into an elegant updo with several decorative hairpins. The attire is elaborate, showcasing a high lace ruff collar surrounding the neck, and a richly detailed garment that includes intricate patterns and textures. A pearl-like necklace adorns the visible portion of the collar. The background consists of a simple circular design with Latin inscriptions around the oval portrait.
