www.corsham-court.co.uk/Pictures/Commentary.html: "This portrait of Elizabeth I illustrates the difficulties she encountered during her troubled reign.

I just made the collage using computer graphics, which Henry Holiday probably made in the 19th century in his mind and/or on paper in order to create his allusion to that 17th century painting. He may have used a drawing on paper or just in his imagination. Today it is easier to create such a collage, because I had the GIMP :-)
