- Cut on/ just within the drawn borderline; a few tiny holes and sm. tears in the image; some marginal tears affecting the image; part of paper strengthened in left edge; some vague stains.

= A good late 17th or 18th century copy in almost the same dimensions as the original in the Staatliche Sammlungen Dresden.
= With the collector's mark of the French artist and collector Jean Gigoux (1806-1894) on recto. With an attribution to Caspar Netscher "Gasp. Netscher del." in pencil on verso. With annotation "Mestres Laene" (?) in brush and ink and in different smaller hand "Mestres (...) Laene" in black pen and ink on verso. The covering of the crown is an allusion to aiding king Charles II to escape after the battle of Worcester in 1651. His companion, Lord Henry Wilmot, was at nearby Bentley Hall, the home of Jane's brother, Colonel John Lane. Jane had obtained a travel pass to visit a pregnant family member in Bristol. Charles accompanied her disguised as her manservant. They eventually reached the coast at Trent, where Charles set sail for France. She fled to France later that year after her part in the escape was discovered, joining the Court in exile. She returned to England after the Restoration. The drawing is very similar to the (mirrored) portrait in the National Portrait Gallery by an anonymous artist showing her also covering the crown with a veil, although there are also various small differences, especially in the background. There is also a portrait of her with very similar features in the collection of Moseley Old Hall, Staffordshire (National Trust Collection). Charles II did invite Caspar Netscher to England, but it is uncertain whether Netscher ever went. SEE ILLUSTRATION PLATE LXXXIX.
- Various small repairs and repainted areas, most noticable along the lower edge; revarnished (prob. in the 19th cent.), w. craquelure, causing tiny spots of paint to blister off.
= Provenance: the baronial family Van Hackfort tot Terhorst (residing at castle Ter Horst in Loenen, near Apeldoorn). The last member of this family, Maria Eugenia Antonia Olivia Victoria barones Hackfort tot Ter Horst (1854-1939), married a baron van Wijnbergen and eventually sold the castle and took the painting to their new residence in Arnhem. One of her daughters (in Amsterdam) inherited the painting and after she died, a cousin or nephew in Voorhout. On the prominent Persian carpet in the centre covering the table in front of the Holy Virgin, cf. O. YDEMA, Carpets and their datings in Netherlandish Paintings (Zutphen, 1991), p.185, no.800 (showing this painting). SEE ILLUSTRATION PLATE XC.
