| Federigo Zuccaro (1540-1609) - The Darnley Portrait (Queen Elizabeth I) (1575) Great Britain 4d Stamp Issued 1968 National Portrait Gallery, London |
Note that this artist may not have been the painter of this important portrait of the queen, which was almost certainly created by the artist through a live sitting with the queen at the time. This portrait is said to have started a trend in the composition of images of the virgin queen - she is portrayed in a very regal and serious manner, with pale features and ornate garments.
