The Pelican Portrait is an oil painting of Elizabeth I of England on a wood panel, named for the pelican pendant shown on Elizabeth's breast. It is generally attributed to Nicholas Hilliard, on the basis of a scientific study and similarities to his other work.
Dating from about 1575, for many generations the painting was at Charlton House, Wiltshire, in the possession of the Earls of Suffolk. In 1930 it was sold to E. Peter Jones, who later donated it to the Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool.
