This is the Conversation Forum for 'The Execution of Lady Jane Grey' by Paul Delaroche << Beautiful painting Wonderful! >> Subject: White Posted Oct 11, 2003 by Phryne- 'Best Suppurating Actress'   Posting 1 She could have been wearing a white dress, due to having to remove her outer gown prior to the execution; that'd be why the dress was simple in style also. Plus, her stays are showing ... (although they are front-laced, suggesting the artist knew little of 16th century women's underclothes...) He's not painted the block right, either. Though she did require assistance to find it once she had her eyes covered <sad>. Conversation list Most of the content on h2g2 is created by h2g2's Researchers, who are members of the public.
