Queen Elizabeth the First - holding an ermine! I am a fan of Tudor and Renaissance portraits, and am a history buff, so I just had to do a Tudor style portrait of Queen Elizabeth holding an ermine! An ermine is a winter weasel often associated with royalty. This is my own original acrylic painting. ©Jasmine Becket-Griffith - prints are available at
