This picture is a copy after Frans Floris, a version of which is at Hatfield House. An inventory of 1868 lists the Hatfield picture as 'Queen Elizabeth in the character of Diana' – this would have been a traditional, but erroneous, identification. At Lacock there are a few copies after Flemish masters, such as Rubens and Cornelis van Haarlem, which were possibly collected by John Ivory Talbot (1691?–1772).
