Representations of Queen Elizabeth I are incredible collections of royal attributes. In all her portraits Queen Elizabeth almost sinks under her mounds of jewelry and huge collars - both expressions of her power. This later bust, which testifies to how much she was adored even later, is also dominated by the lace collar, which I have duplicated many times. So now the collar is in the foreground - her face is hardly recognizable. The representative function of the collar is now the absolute most important thing, which would certainly have pleased her.
