This piece is called The Execution of Lady Jane Grey by Paul Delaroche. It was very popular in its time but was later forgotten and thought to have been lost forever. Lady Jane Grey, also known as "Nine Days' Queen", was a 17-year-old girl who was executed on February 12, 1554 ordered by Queen Mary I. This painting is haunting, tragic, striking, realistic, beautiful. I could look at it for hours. Thank you for watching!
