Edward 3rd from St Stephen's Chapel, Westminster (dated about 1355) - Among the most interesting discoveries connected with the ancient palace of Westminster, were those of the paintings on the walls of St Stephen's chapel and of the room which from this characteristic has always been known by the name of the Painted Chamber. The painting from which our plate is taken formerly appeared at the east end of St Stephen's Chapel. In this picture we have, in all probability, a tolerably accurate portrait of the king, taken soon after the year 1355, the date of the birth of his fifth son.The figures, if erect, would be in the original about eighteen inches high. Edward is represented in full armour. His crown is embossed and gilt; the helmet silvered, with its rim gilt. The mail also was embossed and gilt on a red field.
