Paintings
There are no authenticated contemporary portraits of Lady Jane Grey. The 'Master John' portrait which was thought to have been of Lady Jane Grey was identified as Queen Catherine Parr in 1996.
There are however a number of paintings that are named as being of Lady Jane Grey.
In 2005, John Stephan Edwards identified a portrait by Hans Eworth in the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge as Lady Jane.
In 2006 a painting was discovered inscribed 'Lady Jayne.' This is now on display at the National Portrait Gallery in London.
In March 2007, Dr David Starkey identified a miniature portrait, as possibly being of Lady Jane. Attributed to Lavinia Teerlinc, this miniature is owned by the Yale Center for British Art but was on display from 6-18 March 2007, as part of the 'Lost Faces: Identity and Discovery in Tudor Royal Portraiture'exhibition at the Philip Mould Historical Portraits Gallery in London. See blog for details.
