Allegorical English School painting (c. 1610) of Queen Elizabeth I at Old Age with allegory of Death and Father Time.
(Location of original painting: Corsham Court, EAN-Number: 4050356835081)
www.corsham-court.co.uk/Pictures/Commentary.html says: "This portrait of Elizabeth I illustrates the difficulties she encountered during her troubled reign. For example, conflict between Protestants and Catholics was rife and the re-drafting of the Book of Common Prayer (held in her left hand) was a sensitive issue of the time."
Sorry for the bad quality. The original scan was quite small. I vectorized and enlarged it.
In the back cover illustration to Lewis Carroll's <em>The Hunting of the Snark</em> (1876), Henry Holiday may have alluded to this painting after rearranging it a bit.
On that subject, I highly recommend this book. It’s currently free to read if you have Kindle Unlimited.

I read Alison Weir's non-fiction book on Eleanor years ago and I really liked it. I also read her Henry VIII book and it's a lot like that in that she provides a lot of info on what England/the court was like at the time, family history and dynamics, etc.
I'm not sure if you're interested, but I also really enjoyed the non-fiction book Blood Sisters. It covers the later generations of the Plantagenets and the War of the Roses, but specifically focuses on the royal women.
I agree! He is a very interesting figure, one of my favorites also. I highly recommend this book about him by Lauren Mackay : https://www.amazon.com/Inside-Tudor-Court-writings-Ambassador/dp/1445609576/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1481121562&sr=8-1&keywords=eustace+chapuys I have read it twice. A great read!
