Lot Essay

This portrait of the young queen corresponds to a portrait type of Elizabeth I which Sir Roy Strong tentatively dates to c. 1563 onward, known as the "Barrington Park" Pattern, after a particularly refined example of the type in that collection (see R. Strong, Portraits of Queen Elizabeth I, Oxford, 1963, pp. 57-59, especially fig. p. 13).
