Elizabethan Portraiture Inspiration

I have been looking at Elizabethan portraiture as well as contemporary images to gain inspiration for my design. I wanted to look regularly at Elizabethan portraiture to keep reminding myself of the style so my design would  not lose Elizabethan influences and stray into an unrecognisable contemporary look. I like the portrait  'Armada Portrait' because it incorporates many pearls and I am interested in adding pearls into my contemporary design.
