I absolutely love the more medieval of Rossetti's work.
This immediately reminded me of the movie Hamlet with Mel Gibson and Glen Close because her costumes in that movie so resemble the Queen here. Have you seen it?
I'm not sure how to post an image here in comments, but I've provided a link to a screen grab from the movie for a visual comparison. I feel the costume designer/director must have been inspired by this painting.

I'm not a fan of Mel, though I studied the play at school (a few years ago now!). I'd never seen this before but 1st Art has some rare pictures.

Could be. I certainly like Glenn Closes' outfit. Apart from the Victorians, the Tudors is the period I know best.
