Q  

 

Queens

 
Just about everyone doing this challenge gets stuck on Q. I couldn’t find any painters or paintings beginning with Q that I wanted to write about. So here are some portraits of Queens (the royal kind, not the New York borough).


Queen Ceopatra, by William Waterhouse


Anne of Cleves, fourth wife of Henry VIII, by Hans Holbein

 


 
Queen Elizabeth I, by Nicholas Hilliard


 

 
Jane Seymour, third wife of Henry VIII



Marie Antoinette, by Elisabeth Vigee le Brun

  2. They all look so stoic (except maybe for Marie). And at first, I thought Cleopatra was a guy in drag! Good Q call Elaine!
