The Rainbow Portrait
Elizabeth I: The Rainbow Portrait
Circa 1600, by Isaac Oliver
This portrait can be viewed at Hatfield House. Oliver was a pupil of Elizabeth's favorite court painter, Nicholas Hilliard, and the brother-in-law of Marcus Gheeraerts the Younger. Some historians have argued that Gheeraerts painted this portrait, but most favor Oliver.
