This is one of a group of eight miniatures (420423-420430) which form a retrospective extension to the series of forty-nine miniatures of rulers of Brunswick-Lüneburg and their wives (420431-420679) dating from c. 1595 also in the Royal Collection. This group of eight are fanciful portraits embellished with inscriptions in Gothic script indicating a romantic view of the historical past and are later in date than the larger, original group. They may date from the seventeenth century or possibly from the early eighteenth century when they were first recorded in Queen Caroline's Closet at Kensington Palace by the antiquarian George Vertue. Elizabeth, daughter of Count Herman VIII of Eberstein, married, in 1425, Otto the Great, Duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg. Inscribed at the top in white: Elizabet des letzten Graven Eberstein tochter.
