This charming painting by James C. Christensen, inspired by the paintings of Lucas Cranach the Younger, depicts a portrait of Elizabeth 1, a 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. Her lush red hair is styled in a lavish Elizabeth 1 style updo, and decorated with a crown of pearls, gold and red gems. In her hands she holds a dark gray British shorthair cat, which adds to the whimsy of the scene and enhances the enchanting atmosphere.
