While there are numerous images of her, each differs slightly. Elizabeth's portraits were carefully curated to reflect her power, beauty, and unyielding authority, often masking her personal imperfections. Known for her selective approval of images, she ensured she was depicted in the best light, both literally and figuratively. As she aged, Elizabeth became more self-conscious, using cosmetics to conceal her scars and aging signs. This video offers an interpretation of her image, focusing on portraits from her early years and a famous post-coronation piece that reveals the queen’s evolving self-image.\n
