I chose this picture as the background drew me to it. I found the windows interesting. In one displays ships sailing on a normal day then they pass Elizabeth to the next window in which they are destroyed. I think this symbolize's the queens power. I also think her grasping a globe shows her power over the world. The clothing worn by queen Elizabeth definitely displays her riches as she is covered head to toe in pearls and jewels. She also has what i believe is an ostrich feather in her hair and as a fan. I'd believe they were quite expensive.
