This piece of art work is by Nicholas Hilliard, called the Ermine Portrait. This is a painting of Queen Elizabeth I in 1585. Hilliard captured many aspects of Queen Elizabeth I's life in this single painting. Her clothing and accessories show her social class and royalty. He supposedly added the ermine as a sign as her purity. This painting represents Queen Elizabeths I very well and helps us to get a feel of what she looked and acted like.
