صورة:Robert Dudley Elizabeth Dancing.jpg

Formerly thought to be Queen Elizabeth I of England dancing with Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester. Now the title of the painting, at Penshurst Place in Kent, is thought to be ironic or mocking, as the painting is associated with the French Valois school, c. 1580.

Note that a few countries have copyright terms longer than 70 years: Mexico has 100 years, Colombia has 80 years, and Guatemala and Samoa have 75 years. This image may not be in the public domain in these countries, which moreover do not implement the rule of the shorter term. Côte d'Ivoire has a general copyright term of 99 years and Honduras has 75 years, but they do implement that rule of the shorter term.
