Zusammenfassung:	Field focuses on the portrait of Anna of Denmark (1574- 1619), consort of King James VI of Scotland and I of England (1566-1625) by Flemish artist Paul van Somer (1577-1621) and examines Anna's patronage and political engagement to highlight her importance as a cultural and political figure at the Jacobean court. Field also states how the siting of Anna's hunting portrait not only highlighted her link to Elizabeth, but also her factional alignment and triumph, for it hung alongside a portrait of her long-standing ally at court, the Earl of Pembroke. As is well known, Anna was a fervent supporter of the Pembroke-Southampton faction, which stood in opposition to the Howard-Carr faction endorsed by James.
