Piety

With DPG547, set into a Jacobean-style chimney piece in the Master's Library at Dulwich College. DPG546 and DPG547 are presumably survivals from the decoration of the old college. There is no evidence as to their origin, but it has been suggested that they may have been taken from 'ye queens owld barge', which Alleyn acquired in 1618.
