Painting Description
"Portrait of Elizabeth when a princess, three-quarter-length, in a red jewelled dress, the bible in her hands" is a notable work attributed to Hans Holbein the Younger, a German artist and printmaker who became one of the most celebrated portraitists of the 16th century during his time in England. Holbein's mastery in capturing the likeness and character of his sitters has left a lasting legacy, particularly through his work at the court of King Henry VIII.
This particular portrait is believed to depict Elizabeth Tudor, later known as Queen Elizabeth I of England, during her youth before ascending to the throne. The artwork is characterized by its meticulous detail and the rich symbolism that was typical of Holbein's portraiture. Elizabeth is portrayed in a three-quarter length pose, which was a common format for personal and court portraiture of the era, allowing the artist to capture both the appearance and the status of the sitter.
The young princess is adorned in a red jewelled dress, a color often associated with royalty and power, and her attire is elaborately decorated, reflecting her high status and the opulence of the Tudor court. The inclusion of a bible in her hands is a significant detail that may allude to her education and piety, both important aspects of Elizabeth's public image throughout her reign.
While the painting's provenance and the exact date of its creation are subjects of scholarly research, the work is typically dated to Holbein's second stay in England (1532–1543), a period when he produced some of his most iconic works. The portrait is an important piece of historical and artistic significance, offering insight into the early life of one of England's most iconic monarchs and the skill of one of the Renaissance's master portraitists.
As with many historical artworks, the attribution to Holbein and the identification of the sitter may be debated among scholars, and the painting's history, including its ownership and exhibition, contributes to its narrative. The "Portrait of Elizabeth when a princess" remains a valuable artifact for both art historians and those interested in Tudor history, encapsulating the intersection of art, politics, and personal identity in the 16th century.
