EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures Queen Elizabeth I of England engaging in the noble sport of hawking, a popular pastime during the Tudor period. The image showcases the powerful monarch astride her horse, with a majestic bird of prey perched on her gloved hand.
Queen Elizabeth I, known as "The Virgin Queen," ruled over England from 1558 until her death in 1603. She was a formidable and influential leader who navigated the treacherous waters of politics with skill and cunning. In this portrait, she is depicted enjoying a moment of leisure and entertainment amidst the responsibilities of her royal duties.
Hawking was not only a sport for the elite but also served as a form of hunting for food. It required great skill and precision to train birds such as falcons to hunt wild quarry in their natural habitat. The queen's participation in this activity demonstrates her prowess and connection to nature.
The intricate details captured in this engraving transport us back to the splendor of Elizabethan England, where artistry flourished alongside political intrigue.
