Description

A reproduction of the portrait of Queen Elizabeth I by Nicholas Hilliard (1547-1619) (attributed to) from the Walker Art Gallery collection.

In this portrait of the queen, aged about 41, she is treated almost like a religious icon. Elaborate symbolism and rich detail show off her status and royal qualities. Her figure is stylised and her face mask-like. The mother pelican on her brooch is a traditional Christian symbol of Christ's sacrifice. It was believed that the pelican fed her young with her own blood. Here such a symbol refers to Elizabeth's role as her mother to her people.
