Quoting Kathy Page <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Gah! I think that's the one that that came to mind for
me as well, she is literally covered in pearls, right?
I did a quick search on Lady Burghley and couldn't
find the painting. I'll have to do a little more
digging. She however is an example of nobility, rather
than middle class, which is where the focus of my
efforts are. But.. it's a start.
I know that there's a portrait of Lady Burghley in a
very pregnant state
wearing a kirtle and surcoat.
I don't think that's the correct name for the "covered in pearls"
painting; I couldn't find it under that name either. I've found about
a half dozen or so paintings of pregnant women late in the SCA period
-- including one that's just out of period. I can see about getting
them posted somewhere if y'all are interested; one of them appears to
be a pregnant Eleanor of Toledo!
