"Anne Knollys by George Gower" is a portrait painting by the English artist George Gower, who was active during the late 16th century and served as Serjeant Painter to Queen Elizabeth I. The subject of the painting, Anne Knollys (1553–1608), was a prominent figure in the Elizabethan court, known for her lineage as the daughter of Sir Francis Knollys, a close advisor to the Queen, and Catherine Carey, a cousin of Elizabeth I. Anne Knollys herself was a lady-in-waiting to the Queen and later became the wife of Thomas West, 2nd Baron De La Warr.

The portrait is a significant example of Elizabethan portraiture, showcasing the fashion and aesthetics of the English nobility during that period. Gower's work is characterized by its attention to detail, particularly in the depiction of textiles and jewelry, which were important status symbols at the time. The painting likely served to emphasize Anne Knollys's status and connections within the royal court.

As an artist, George Gower is noted for his ability to capture the likeness and personality of his sitters. His portraits are valuable historical records of the appearance and attire of the Elizabethan elite. The "Anne Knollys" portrait would be emblematic of his style, which combined realism with the elaborate symbolism that was popular in the late 16th century.

The painting would be of interest to art historians and those studying Elizabethan England, as it provides insight into the cultural and social dynamics of the era, as well as the role of portraiture in asserting identity and status. If the painting is held in a public collection, it would likely be a subject of study for its artistic merit as well as its historical significance as a representation of a notable figure in the Elizabethan court.
