So it is. And it indeed purports to be "Lady Mary II", "...drawn from a three-quarter portrait of the Princess Mary dating about 1551-3." The interesting thing is that, though the interesting coif, high sleeve caps and general color scheme are consistent with the image that started this thread, it is not *identical*--suggesting that Norris, in turn, redrew a Victorian redrawing.
