Most royalty had their pictures painted constantly it was a sign of wealth and influence. It also made you look like a patron to the arts. Elizabeth was also vain, so it may have been a sign of her vanity as well as her wealth.

What does a portrait artist do?
A portrait artist creates an image that shows a comprehensive and usually idealized presentation of a person/personality that seems less like a specific moment in time (like a snapshot/candid photo) and more like the Idea of the person. They work from sessions of sitting with the "subject" (person being painted/photgraphed) or from photos, if the portrait is a painting. A portrait is more of an "official declaration" than a mere document.

In "The Portrait of a Lady" by Khushwant Singh, the author personifies the portrait by describing it as having a "kind face that winked and smiled," giving it human-like qualities of warmth and familiarity.

Why people at the Middle Ages had a strange look in portraits?
One of the reasons people in portraits may look strange, or seem uncomfortable or angry is because they were having themselves painted. It's not like getting your picture taken, it took hours to do a portrait. It's understandable if the one being painted got impatient, or bored or angry. They were probably very tired and uncomfortable. Also many people when they got their selves painted wanted to look serious or sophisticated and smart, or had a certain look they wanted to come across so they were often painted deliberately that way. And sometimes it was just the style of the artist.
