Original – The Streatham Portrait, discovered at the beginning of the 21st century and believed to be a copy of a contemporary portrait of Lady Jane Grey, de facto queen of England for 9 days in 1553
Reason
High resolution, nice and sharp, near-contemporary (40 years difference for this copy, the original portrait may have been closer). Interesting information about provenance will allow for a good POTD blurb. A big thank you to Dcoetzee for purchasing this digitization
