La Peregrina



In the exhibition in the McMullen Museum there is this famous portrait of Queen Mary of England. She was the queen before Elizabeth I and they had the same father: Henry VIII.

You have to see for yourself what a beautiful portrait the royal painter Hans Eworth made of his queen. It was made in 1554 and the jewelry she is wearing is 'stunning'.

Can you see the large pearl hanging at the end of her 'necklace'?

There is a story worth reading - double click on the title of this post.
