Historical elizabethan inspiration

When researching portraits on which inspire my designs for the timed assessment I was really drawn to this. This portrait is very different from her many, as her hairs down and she looks almost vulnerable
This portrait is from Elizabeth I coronation and was painted for her suiters with her hair down to show she's at an age to marry. Having hair down was avery symbolic as it was deemed a sign of virginaity and not being married.
