Titled "A Royal Picnic" this plate from George Turberville's Noble Art of Venerie and Hunting showcases Queen Elizabeth I herself, surrounded by her noble courtiers, enjoying a lavish feast in the great outdoors.

The queen sits at the center, radiating regal grace while partaking in falconry, a popular pastime of the time. Her presence commands attention, symbolizing her power and authority.
