This charming painting by James C. Christensen depicts a portrait of Elizabeth 1, a young Tudor woman, centered in a smart red dress with intricate gold embroidery. The dress is decorated with intricate patterns and a wide neckline adorned with pearls and gold detailing. The sleeves are voluminous and flared at the wrists, revealing white fabric with intricate gold patterns underneath. Around the neck is a pearl necklace with a prominent center pendant in the form of a red heart surrounded by gold elements. Her fingers are adorned with rings.
