Image title	Oil painting on canvas, Elizabeth Cornwallis, Mrs Edward Allen (d. 1708), as Diana the Huntress by Jacob Huysmans (Antwerp c.1630 ¿ London 1696). A three-quarter-length portrait of a young woman, wearing a blue dress with red wrap and leopard skin sash. Elaborate red and blue feather head dress. Accompanied by greyhounds, the one in the foreground with star studded collar and holding a hunting spear which refer to the virgin Roman goddess of the hunt and of the moon, and therefore night time, and reinforcing the notion of beauty, purity and chaste virtue of the sitter.It is also a reference to the Virgin Mary who is seen with a crown of stars in depictions of the Immaculate Conception which was a popular Catholic religious image. The Flemish artist came to England in 1662 and was patronised by the catholic queen Catherine of Braganza , the wife of King Charles II, and her circle. She is in a simlar pose to that of a portrait by Huysmans in Tate Britain, London (T00901).
