This is a small panel portrait by an anonymous artist of the English
school held at the Denver Art Museum in the Berger Collection. A somewhat
larger version can be found here:

This link will take you directly to the image in the museum collection:

it, but the resolution is very fuzzy.
Good luck,

Thanks for that, especially the second one (I didn't get any problems with
fuzziness, though you've got to give it a few moments to clear up when you
zoom) That French hood is certainly interesting, if you zoom in to the area
at the bottom of her ear you can see that the black band at the front is
laid over an 'ordinary' French Hood coz you can just see the end of her
jewelled blimmet sticking out from the bottom plus you can also see a white
band going underneath her jaw. The other interesting point is I think the
back blimmet might curve under at the back of her neck, which makes me
wonder how far it extends towards the back of her neck and whether perhaps
it helps to keep it on and maybe it extends all the way across.
