<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Figtree3, post: 617380, member: 33&quot;]The National Portrait Gallery, London has this annotation on the print of Lady Jane Grey from the same Court Magazine series:</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Lady Jane Grey</b></p><p><br /></p><p>by Edward Hargrave, after Adriaen van der Werff</p><p>hand-coloured engraving, published 1840</p><p>9 in. x 5 5/8 in. (230 mm x 143 mm) image size</p><p>Purchased with help from the Friends of the National Libraries and the Pilgrim Trust, 1966</p><p><br /></p><p><font size="4"><b>This portrait</b></font></p><p><br /></p><p>This early Victorian print was produced for a popular women&#039;s magazine, which combined short stories and poetry with society news and fashion. It is announced as &#039;An authentic portrait engraved exclusively for the Court Magazine&#039; but is, in fact, an adaptation of the Heroologia portrait. It is unlikely that the artist was aware of the original full-length portrait of <a href="https://www.npg.org.uk/collections/search/person/mp00803" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.npg.org.uk/collections/search/person/mp00803" rel="nofollow">Katherine Parr</a> (NPG 4451) on which the Heroologia image is based. Rather than historical accuracy, the print focuses on the sumptuous costume of gold brocade, ermine and jewels.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.npg.org.uk/collections/search/portrait/mw194312/Lady-Jane-Grey" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.npg.org.uk/collections/search/portrait/mw194312/Lady-Jane-Grey" rel="nofollow">https://www.npg.org.uk/collections/search/portrait/mw194312/Lady-Jane-Grey</a></p><p><br /></p><p>----</p><p>Also, there is this site, with pricing of a portrait of the Empress Josephine from the same series:</p><p><a href="https://www.grosvenorprints.com/stock_detail.php?ref=24120" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.grosvenorprints.com/stock_detail.php?ref=24120" rel="nofollow">https://www.grosvenorprints.com/stock_detail.php?ref=24120</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
