Why is the painter scared?

Who is the other man? The Queen's husband, the King?

What do we learn about the Queen's personality?

What's wrong with the Queen's face? Do you think it's exaggerated? What's the difference with the portrait?

"The queen's hand rests on a globe below the crown of England, "her fingers covering the Americas, indicating England's dominion of the seas and plans for imperialist expansion in the New World" The Queen is flanked by two columns behind, probably a reference to the famous impress of the Holy Roman Emperor, Charles V, Philip II of Spain's father, which represented the pillars of Hercules, gateway to the Atlantic Ocean and the New World.

In the background view on the left, English fireships threaten the Spanish fleet, and on the right the ships are driven onto a rocky coast amid stormy seas by the "Protestant Wind". On a secondary level, these images show Elizabeth turning her back on storm and darkness while sunlight shines where she gazes.^"

The message she is sending :She is saying she is wealthy and powerful e.g the crown next to her and expensive clothes/jewellery. She is saying shes a powerful war leader e.g Armana in the background being defeated. Phillip wanted England to be Catholic and Elizabeth is showing the protestants can win. She is a dominate figure- hand on globe to signal an empire: e.g America, Africa especially - e.g Franis Drake captured slaves.
