Study could shed new light on the story of Lady Jane Grey , who reigned from July 10 to 19, 1553 .

She was Queen of England for just nine days before being executed at age 17 , marking the shortest reign in British history.

The identity of the sitter in the painting, which was painted by an unknown artist, has been subject to debate.

English Heritage’s curator at Wrest Park , Peter Moore , said the painting had been acquired by Anthony Grey , 11th Earl of Kent, in 1701 and was regarded as the “defining image” of Lady Jane Grey until it was called into doubt following the British Art Journal article. “It is thrilling to have this painting back at Wrest , and the new research provides tantalizing evidence which brings us much closer to the assertion that this could be Lady Jane Grey ,” he said..
