Portrait of Lady Elizabeth Pope
Elizabeth Pope was the daughter of Sir Thomas Watson. He was a prominent investor in the Virginia Company, which ran the English colony of Virginia in North America. Elizabeth might be depicted as a personification of America. First Nation people in America were often portrayed in masques wearing ostrich feathers and clothes with pearls, hence the feather in her turban and the pearls in ostrich feather design on her dress. The pearls and her coral bracelet might also allude to the riches of the American seas. Pearls symbolise purity and were associated with Elizabeth I, the Virgin Queen, after whom Virginia was named.
Elizabeth Watson, an heiress, married Sir William Pope of Wroxton (1596-1624) on 13 December 1615, and it is thought that her portrait may have been painted in connection with this event. She is depicted beneath a laurel tree, with a landscape beyond, and wears a classical mantle of black fabric embroidered with pearls in an ostrich-feather pattern; this pattern is repeated on her hat, which is trimmed with a real purple feather. She has a pearl choker, strings of pearls round her right wrist and a coral bangle round her left. Her chest is bared, with a heavy diamond necklace laid across it, and her left breast is almost exposed. Her long hair hangs down, loose except for a single braid above her arm. This was a contemporary symbol of virginity and brides sometimes wore their hair down thus - one high-profile example being Princess Elizabeth (1596-1662) the future 'Winter Queen', at her marriage on St Valentine's Day (14 February) in London in 1613 (see Robert Rait, Five Stuart Princesses, London 1902, p.75).
