Margaret, Lady Elyot (d. 1560)
c.1532-4RCIN 912204
This drawing of Lady Elyot (c.1500 –60) is a pair to the portrait of her husband. Both were presumably made as studies for oil paintings although none have survived. Margaret Elyot is shown wearing an elaborate velvet English hood, fashionable in this period.
