The meeting of the virgin queens

Another "new" portrait:


Above: Kristina meets her/his/their other hero.

In this illustration, Kristina meets the other famous virgin queen, Elizabeth I of England (1533-1603). As a child, Kristina read a Latin-language biography of Elizabeth, who had lived recently enough that her life and reign were still in living memory when Kristina was young.
