This is an early painting of Queen Elizabeth when she first started ruling England. In this portrait you can see clearly that her hair is long, flowing , and very light and fair in colour. This hair color gets more rich and deep in tone thoughout the period of her lifetime.
In this painting notice the dramatic change in her hair colour and cut. Her hair is very short here and the style has changed completely. She has tight set pin curls, and is wearing hair pieces. Which was a typical hair style worn by Elizabethan women. I really like the pin curls look.
this is a very unusual portrait in my opinion because Elizabeth NEVER wanted a painting of her to be released unless she looked amazing in it, but here we see her wrinkles and a quite tired appearance on her face. We can see the hair is lighter in colour in this one and is far shorter then in previous paintings of her but still has this frizzed texture and also is still wearing head pieces
