Portrait of Elizabeth Brydges

Artist: Nicholas Hilliard
Artwork: Portrait of Elizabeth Brydges
Description: This portrait of Elizabeth Brydges is one of the most famous works by the miniaturist Nicholas Hilliard. It is a small painting, measuring just 10.2 x 8.3 cm, but it is full of detail and symbolism. Brydges is shown wearing a red dress with a white lace collar and a pearl necklace. Her hair is elaborately coiffed and she is wearing a number of jewels, including a large pendant in the shape of a heart. The painting is set against a dark background, which helps to make Brydges’ figure stand out.
