Portret van koningin Elizabeth I 1604

This engraving of Queen Elizabeth I, created in 1604, showcases Frans Hogenberg's skill in portraiture. The artwork, part of the Rijksmuseum collection, features Elizabeth in a circular frame, encircled by a Latin inscription detailing her royal titles. Hogenberg captures her likeness with a level of detail that underscores the power and majesty associated with the Queen. This piece offers a glimpse into the artistic trends of the late 16th century and the reverence for monarchs during that period.
