EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an enigmatic lady from the court of King Edward VI, believed to be none other than Lady Jane Grey herself. Painted between 1550 and 1555 by Hans Eworth or Ewoutsz, this oil on panel masterpiece measures a grand 109.9x80 cm and is housed in the prestigious Fitzwilliam Museum at the University of Cambridge. Recently relabelled as possibly Lady Jane Grey due to new research findings, this portrait offers a glimpse into her life as a devout reformer. Adorned with striking red hair and exquisite jewelry, she exudes an air of piety and elegance. The brooch she wears depicts the Old Testament story of Esther, symbolizing her adherence to the Reformed religion. Lady Jane Grey was not just any noblewoman; she was the daughter of Henry Grey, Marquis of Dorset and Duke of Suffolk. Her three-quarter length portrayal captures her delicate features and slender frame while holding a prayer book close to her heart. As one gazes upon this Tudor painting, it becomes evident that Lady Jane Grey's legacy lives on through art. This remarkable piece invites us to delve into history and contemplate the intriguing life of this young woman who briefly held power as Queen before meeting a tragic fate at only seventeen years old.
