I wanted to paint this after reading a book about Elizabeth 1. Anne Boleyn was her mother and Henry VIII's second wife. Anne was beheaded by King Henry when she was still young, accused of having affairs with several young men. She was beautiful, intelligent and ambitious.
This was painted in Photoshop with a Wacom over about two days with only an orginal portrait of Anne Boleyn as an initial inspiration. Many thanks for looking.
