About the piece

This detailed portrait by John de Critz captures Anna of Denmark, Queen consort of King James VI and I, in high Jacobean style around 1605. The work emphasizes the tactile richness of her courtly attire, from the translucent lace of her standing ruff to the rows of lustrous pearls and gold embroidery that define the fashion of the era.
