#LevinaTerlinck
Levina Terlinck a Flemish miniaturist who moved to the English court of Elizabeth painted a large number of portraits of various courtiers but sadly many of them have been sad.
Yes thats why the image quality of this is a bit blurry Its a photo of a miniature which I have enlarged just a bit in an effort to give you some idea of the precision and detail of this work.
Note the fine composition.
Teerlinck is thought to have trained Hilliard. She was the daughter of noted illuminator Simon Bening.
And yes this is Mardy Sidney / Dudley Countess of Pembroke the writer and patroness of other writers.
