I am blown away by Isaac Oliver’s technique for the lace! Wishing I was as erudite with words as you, Philip, as I cannot believe the intricateness of detail depicted by color and thickness and wish I could express myself better. Stunned.
I saw the National Portrait Gallery exhibition of miniatures last May 2019 with Hilliard and others. Incredible works of watercolour on vellum in lovely little lockets and frames. Nice to see similar ones here close up.
Philip. I adore your content. Please make sure that whoever is producing it records it or loads it to RUclips louder than it needs to be. One can turn the volume down however in many cases it is not possible to hear your dulcet tones without putting you on a speaker that is amplified. Please do better, or at least as well as your charming ability demonstrates itself. Thank you.
The transition from "We think", "It's possible", and "Perhaps this is derived" to "Of all the portraits of Edward, surely this portrait miniature is one of the most intimate" feels more like Game Theory than actual provenance.
Yeh Corrie, 'flinged' is the Latin derivation of 'Flung' translated into Spanish by a Japanese choreographer from a Greek parable by a Germany narrator...though I may be wrong....
Why spend so much time wandering off of the item of importance? Sure, let's see the expert who is talking but stay focused and centered on the item. Please. So much on the table cloth?
I wonder if it has to be a lady of the court? Vanity or playfulness might subtend a desire to present a poor woman in the guise of wealth. Consider "Girl With A Pearl Earring" thought to be a housemaid caught trying on what belongs to her master's wife. What differentiates provenance from story? Verifiabilty.

Would not the rather masculine dress in the second portrait be a riding habit as the court was always taking part in hunts?

Why don't they think the first one depicts QE1, herself? The person looks similar and is even wearing QE1's own necklace...
I think the same ! It has to bei QE1 ! Not only the necklace and the face. That amazing cloth ! So expensive and exquisite!

Isn't she Elisabeth I herself?
5:00 - Keith Lemon???
