· This exquisite detail is taken from a portrait by Marcus Gheeraerts the Younger, who is rightly regarded as one of the most important portrait painters working in the royal courts of Elizabeth I and James I. His iconic portraits defined the public image of many of the leading figures of his age and the sitter of our painting would certainly have held a prominent role within the Jacobean court.

Attributed to Marcus Gheeraerts the Younger, Portrait of an Unknown Lady (possibly Lettice Knollys, Countess of Leicester) (detail), 1595

portrait of margaret layton by marcus gheeraerts the younger, ca. 1620, and waistcoat, at the v&a

This fine early 17th-century woman's waistcoat is particularly significant because it is shown being worn in the Portrait of Margaret Layton [...] In the portrait, Margaret Layton wears the waistcoat with an Italian needlelace collar and cuffs, a black velvet gown, a red silk petticoat and a whitework apron. [...] Although the waistcoat was made about 1610, the portrait was painted more than 10 years later. By this time, waistlines had risen. Margaret Layton adapted to the new style by raising her petticoat and covering the lower half of the waistcoat.

This portrait of Elizabeth I (known as 'The Peace Portrait' or the 'Welbeck Portrait) depicting the Queen as Pax, the Roman Goddess of Peace, was painted by Flemish artist Marcus Gheeraerts c.1585.

It was likely commissioned by Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester; the setting is reported to be his home of Wanstead Hall, Essex, with the figures in the background said to be himself, wife Lettice Knollys and one of her Devereux daughters. In reality, Lettice had been banished from court following the news of her secret marriage to Dudley, at Wanstead, on 21 Sep 1578. The Queen never forgave her younger kinswoman and former 'gentlewoman of the privy chamber' for her perceived betrayal in marrying her long-time favourite, famously referring to her as "that She-Wolf".

Because I'm working on the third piece and need a reminder that doing a medieval crowd scene full of rainbows and horses is going to look amazing when it's done... I hope you're excited....
