Elizabethan hairstyles

http://www.tate.org.uk/context-comment/articles/pearly-queen 

Looking at portraits of elizabethan women really helped inspire me looking at the different shaped hairstyles they had and also hair accessories.

I chose this certain painting 
(Portrait of an Unknown Lady
By Marcus Gheeraerts II)

I really like the shape of the hair and that you can see the hair is not straight but has a frizzy texture to it I love the decoration in the hair the purls and jewels adds a sense of wealth and power to her
