Description
English: Queen Elizabeth I of England in her coronation robes, patterned with Tudor roses and trimmed with ermine. She wears her hair loose, as traditional for the coronation of a queen, perhaps also as a symbol of virginity. The painting, by an unknown artist, dates to the first decade of the seventeenth century (NPG gives c.1600) and is based on a lost original also by an unknown artist.
Français : La reine Élisabeth Ire d'Angleterre dans sa robe de couronnement, à motifs de roses de Tudor et ourlée d'hermine. Ses cheveux sont libres sur ses épaules, comme de tradition pour le couronnement des reines, et peut être aussi comme symbole de virginité. La peinture, d'un auteur inconnu, date de la première décennie du XVIIe siècle. C'est une copie d'un original lui aussi d'auteur inconnu, et perdu.
Deutsch: Königin Elisabeth I. von England in ihrer Robe zur Krönung, die mit Tudor-Rosen gemustert und mit Hermelin verziert ist. Sie trägt ihr Haar offen, wie es bei der Krönung einer Königin üblich ist, eventuell auch als Symbol der Jungfräulichkeit. Das Gemälde eines unbekannten Künstlers stammt aus dem ersten Jahrzehnt des 17. Jahrhunderts (die National Portrait Gallery (NPG) gibt als Entstehungszeit um 1600 an) und basiert auf einem verloren gegangenen Original, das ebenfalls von einem unbekannten Künstler stammt.

Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 100 years or fewer.
