They are in the Victoria and Albert museum in London and have been verified as the same. The identity of the portrait artist is unknown :

Originally embroidered at Layton Hall Rawdon Leeds Yorkshire by Mrs Layton who lived there.

Mrs Layton was, I think, Lady in Waiting to Elizabeth 1st.

Bit ironic don't you think ? A dress on a headless manikin, in front of a painting of a woman that lost her head !
