Althorp Image - Both the date and attribution of de Heere have not been independently confirmed. Shows a pronounced similarity to several devotional portraits (c. 11th century). There is no evidence that Jane sat for de Heere, the dates are off, may have been based on an earlier miniature. This is the original that the later versions are based on.

The Judgement of Lady Jane Grey - Stephan Edwards: I have the feeling that the details of events have been altered a bit. My impression of the painting is that it depicts Jane's famous debate with Feckenham, rather than some other earlier meeting. But the artist has added Bonner and Gardiner to the scene, a bit of "artistic license." He has also added Guildford. Though all of those people may have ben present, we do not have an attendance list so we cannot be sure. And I have the sense that the artist is attempting to portray Guildford as so overwhelmed by Jane's eloquence in support of Protestantism that he fell to his knees to beg Jane's pardon for having himself been tempted to convert to Catholicism in order to save his own life. Jane becomes the shining example of religious strength, even though she is "only" a woman, while her husband is seen as the weaker one.
