Six hits the US…

It seems very likely that this is a portrait of Helena Snakenborg, a Swedish-born noble who married the British William Parr, 1st Marquess of Northampton in 1571. She was aged 21 in 1569, as the writing on the painting states, and became a close friend of Elizabeth I. The artist is unknown but his style is English. The lady wears a rich red gown with heavily embroidered sleeves; the floral theme of the sleeves is of the Tudor rose, a symbol of Elizabeth I. The sitter has a carnation behind her ear, which was often used to symbolize a betrothal (again, the timing fits with Helena Snakenborg). She wears a French style hood on her head, which allows for her beautiful red hair to be visible. Every detail of the sitter’s attire testifies to fashionable Elizabethan court dress, and therefore a show of wealth and position. The heavy gold chains and liberal use of gold braid and seed pearls for decoration emphasize this exalted status.

A white towel on a kitchen cupboard holding six items of white linen and lace. These are two sets of 16th century neck and wrist ruffs.

Let the Great Starching commence. Six commissioned pieces, two ruffs, four cuffs, with the customer's chosen lace. Now to wash, starch, dry, and iron.

Jane must become what the court demands: the obedient bride, the submissive consort, the vessel for England’s future. But behind the mask lies a woman torn between loyalty and conscience, ambition and faith—and haunted by the blood price of her crown.
