Research indicates that a newly displayed portrait in Britain might be the only existing image of Lady Jane Grey created during her lifetime. Conservation group English Heritage, along with experts, suggest that evidence such as the style and details of the portrait may align with Lady Jane's life. Despite her brief nine-day reign in 1553 and her tragic fate of execution at just 17, this potential portrait offers insights into her story, including her connection to the Tudor dynasty and her significance in English history.
"From the newly discovered evidence of a once perhaps more elaborate costume...it is possible that we are looking at the shadows of a once more royal portrait of Lady Jane Grey."
"The identity of the sitter in the image...has previously been subject to debate. Now new research suggests a portrait that has gone on display in Britain could be the only image of Lady Jane Grey painted in her lifetime."
