EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph depicts Elizabeth, Queen of Bohemia, dressed in the fashion of the reigns of James I and Charles I, from 1603 to 1649. The portrait is based on an original painting by an unknown artist of the time, and is a testament to the opulence and elegance of the Tudor and Stuart eras. Elizabeth is shown wearing a black hat adorned with a tall lace collar, a sign of her noble status. Around her neck, she wears a beautiful necklace, its pearls and gems glinting in the light. Her green puff-sleeved dress, with its intricate lace cuffs, is a stunning contrast to the black mantle that she wears draped over her shoulders. In her hand, she holds a peacock feather fan, a fashionable accessory of the time. The background of the portrait features a map of England, adding a historical context to the image. The influence of the Dutch painter, Hans Vansommer, is evident in the intricate details of the portrait, particularly in the rendering of the lace and textiles. Elizabeth, the daughter of James I of England, was the Queen Consort of Bohemia from 1618 until her death in 1662. She is remembered for her beauty, intelligence, and patronage of the arts. This exquisite print, from the collection "Costumes of British Ladies from the Time of William the First to the Reign of Queen Victoria," published in London by Dickinson & Son in 1840, is a valuable historical record of the fashion and style of the period.
