Image: Portrait of a Woman, once identified as Frances Brandon - Royal Collection

Description: Portrait of a Woman, once tentatively identified as Lady Frances Brandon, mother of Lady Jane Grey. A portrait of a woman. Head and shoulders, facing half to the left, wearing a black dress with a fur wrap, a small non-continuous ruff and a black headdress. The artist of this work has not been identified. The sitter has been linked tentatively to Frances Brandon, Duchess of Suffolk. A portrait at Petworth (see Collins Baker, 'Catalogue of the Petworth Collection of Pictures', 1920) appears to represent the same woman on a larger scale and is inscribed with the date 1560 and the sitter's age (24). Another version of the portrait is in the Duke of Sutherland's collection.
