It's attributed to Marcus > Gheeraerts the younger, as a posthumous romanticized portrait. Since he > painted for QE once or twice, she may well have asked for it. Where did you see the attribution? Just curious as I didn't see it on the auction. It's definitely not Anne, she's wearing distinctly post 1600 Spanish dress so is from the Spanish or Austrian Court. I'm not sure if I came across this particular portrait on an auction site or Bildindex. My files are huge and haven't been orderd from across three HDDs so I'm not sure where I have that one either. I think it was bildindex but I cannot access the site right now. http://sayaespanola.glittersweet.com/late.htm But the style is definitely in line with those images I collected a while back. She is very much in the style of Pantoja de la Cruz: http://www.artcyclopedia.com/artists/cruz_juan_pantoja_de_la.html http://www.wga.hu/frames-e.html?/html/p/pantoja/index.html http://pintura.aut.org/BU04?Autnum=11.516 The softness and roundness of the way her features have been painted as well as the style of dress.
