An antique oval painted portrait brooch featuring a depiction of Queen Elizabeth I beneath a domed glass cover. The portrait is set within a twisted gilt-tone frame and captures the iconic Tudor monarch in her signature lace ruff, jeweled coiffure, and embroidered court dress. Revered as one of England's most influential rulers, Elizabeth I became an enduring symbol of the Elizabethan Golden Age, and her likeness remained a popular decorative subject well into the Victorian era. This charming example reflects that continued fascination with England's celebrated "Virgin Queen."
