QUEBORN, Crispijn van den. Elisabet D.G. Angliae, Franciae, et Hiberniae Regina Under the title: "Mortua Anno Misericordiae At. 70 / Crisp: van queboren Sculp A:1625" (dated 1625); 11x17cm. A stunning early engraved portrait of Elizabeth I, Queen of England, by the Dutch artist after Isaac Oliver's painting. The print includes also the notice of the Queen's death at foot. This is one of Queborn's most esteemed images of the Queen and by far the rarest to be found on the antiquarian market. "This half-length posthumous portrait shows Elizabeth I wearing an elaborate pearl adorned dress with a striking ruff and crown. According to O'Donoghue's A Descriptive Catalogue of Portraits of Queen Elizabeth (1894): 'it is a noteworthy fact that none of the engravings of Elizabeth published in or near her own time can be affiliated to existing oil paintings or miniatures, and (with the exception of the large plate by C. Van de Passe and one of those by F. Delaram), none bear the name of the original artist.' O'Donoghue continues 'the most striking of all, and one peculiarity associated with Elizabeth, is the ruff, and almost the entire history of the rise and progress of that remarkable article of attire may be traced in her portraits'" (quote from https://graphicarts.princeton.edu/2020/04/27/the-devil-as-he-in-thefulnes- of-his-malice-first-invented-these-great-ruffes/).
