Légende

The New Houses of Parliament - Bas-reliefs in the Prince's Chamber - Lady Jane Grey and her tutor, Ascham, 1857. One of a '...series of historic tableaux which enrich the walls of this elegant apartment...The first...represents Lady Jane Grey at her studies; the incident being her old tutor, Dr. Roger Ascham, discovering his pupil, and asking her how it is that she should be studying her books whilst her relations and friends are enjoying the sports of the field. She is here represented, in her meek way, listening; or it may be just answering her tutor's interrogation. The costume of the period has been adhered to in the treatment of the subject. The arrangement of the folds in Lady Jane's dress is simple and graceful. The walls of the room are hung with tapestry. The suspended curtain in the left-hand corner is not in keeping with arrased apartments of the period of this incident. But the group is a clever composition'. From "Illustrated London News", 1857.
