I just love the embroidery on the sleaves with the yellow buttercups, they
seem to me to be raised stumpwork?

This lady is now considered in all likelihood to be
Queen Elizabeth
l. According to Janet Arnold, she is standing in
front of a Chair of
State. I think there may be an article in the
catalogue "The Tudor
Dynasty" from which I believe your picture comes.
Thank you Suzi! I didn't know that. I got that image
from someplace online, but I will look up the info if
I can find that book. Do you have the name of the
author?
