The Elizabethan Portrait

I chose this portrait as my favourite because I love how extravagant her neck collar is. I think the neck collars and chokers are what fascinate me the most about the fashion in this era. I really like what the pearls symbolise which is purity as it would be such a wonderful thing to be known as. I also like the symbolism of the rose she is holding in her hand, the Virgin Mary. I like this idea of how she has chosen to become something so different and extravagant that it made everyone so empowered by her.
