Elizabethan Portraits

In this image i think that the hair is big and full of accessories that make it stand out. The colour is really Elizabethan, but what i don't like is that the hair line is so far back, as they shaved the hair at the forehead hair line, so that it was further back. The colour is more of a strawberry blonde, which makes the skin look even paler. The shape is more rounded, then heart shaped and they would have used padding to keep it at a high length

This one looks different as the hair is not curly, but straight and in a heart shape, that was also very popular to women in that era. These accessories in the hair, make it stand out more and show her wealth. The brown colour is there, instead of red or strawberry blonde, but i don't like the shape, and that the hair is not curly or crimped, as that adds more texture.

Most of the hair is down in this one behind the ears. Pearls are put into it, which was the most popular to have in it. i like how the curls are slightly down the forehead than most of the portraits, and i would like to incorporate that in my own design, but a more contemporary one, with the curls slightly more at the front of the ears.

Another design that i have not seen done before, with ribbons braided into the hair at the back. I don't really like this one as much, because of the way it is so far back and the hair looks to tight against the head, as i prefer to have some of it done, with more depth and volume. The flowers stand out and much it look romantic. It does remind me of the renaissance period still, with the hair braided and all the ribbon, even the hair colour.

I like this one the most,as it is so high and the aaccessories are what i haven't seen before, as they fill most of the hair. The colour is different also, which is a shade of brown, instead of the red that was most wanted. It does remind me of a contemporary design like the beehive,
