I first thought that this was a wrongly named engraving of the Melton Constable or Hastings Portrait of Katherine Parr, due to the prominent pattern of the fabric of the dress, and the maturity of the lady's features, but it is of course a wrongly named engraving of the portrait of Elizabeth I when a Princess attributed to William Scrots.
