Description: Portrait of Elizabeth I of England (1533-1603) "Miniatures of royalty often played a part in marriage negotiations with foreign courts. They also had a domestic political role. This miniature celebrates Queen Elizabeth as Cynthia, ‘the wide Ocean’s Empresse’, victorious ruler of a maritime nation. Elizabeth’s ambassadors often carried her miniature with them when abroad, which was much admired." [1]
