Portrait of an Unknown Women.
This portrait stood out particularly because of the
burgundy/ purple undertone it has to it, which you don’t often see in portraits
of this time. The frame of the tiny waist and broader upper body instantly
makes you think of the Elizabethan era, also with the puffy sleeves on the
dress. The girl in the paintings face, hair colour and dress sense all scream
the Elizabethan ideal, with all the small details of the lace and hair
accessories. From this painting you can tell she is a fashionable young lady, copying
the image that Elizabeth I portrayed.
