A sixteenth century portrait which may depict the famous 'nine days Queen' Lady Jane Grey has been loaned to Wrest Park, an historic property in Bedfordshire run by English Heritage. The loan, from a private collection, is accompanied by interpretation regarding a recent research and conservation project on the picture.
Although the articles linked above make claims that the painting, and its dating, is a new discovery of sort, Bendor has published his catalogue entry on 'X' for the picture from a 2007 exhibition which contained the same arguments backed up with dendrochronology undertaken all those years ago.
The painting will be on display from today.
