This portrait painted by Elizabethan favourite court painter Isaac Oliver At 1600

 

 

 

Elizabeth's gown is embroidered with English wildflowers, thus allowing the queen to pose in the guise of Astraea, the virginal heroine of classical literature.

 

Her cloak is decorated with eyes and ears, implying that she sees and hears all.

 

 

 

 

Her headdress is an incredible design decorated lavishly with pearls and rubies and supports

 her royal crown.

The pearls symbolize her virginity

The crown, symbolizes her royalty

 

 

Pearls also adorn the transparent veil which hangs over her shoulders,Above her crown is a crescent-shaped jewel which alludes to Cynthia, the goddess of the moon.

 

 

 

 

A jeweled serpent is entwined along her left arm, and holds from its mouth a heart-shaped ruby. Above its head is a celestial sphere. The serpent symbolizes wisdom; it has captured the ruby, which in turn symbolizes the queen's heart. In other words, the queen's passions are controlled by her wisdom. The celestial sphere echoes this theme; it symbolizes wisdom and the queen's royal command over nature.

 

Elizabeth's right hand holds a rainbow with the Latin inscription 'Non sine sole iris' ('No rainbow without the sun'). The rainbow symbolizes peace, and the inscription reminds viewers that only the queen's wisdom can ensure peace and prosperity.

 

Elizabeth was in her late sixties when this portrait was made, but for iconographic purposes she is portrayed as young and beautiful, more than mortal. In this portrait, she is ageless.
