The fabric I purchased is close to both color descriptions. I call it deep vibrant coral with a salmon hue lerking under neath the surface. Either way, it's close enough for us!
Now to making it.......

To me, the facial expression in the "rose pink" version looks slightly different from nos. 1 and 3. I think I remember seeing that version in the Queen's Gallery at Buckingham Palace about 20 years ago. If it's in the Royal Collection it may well now be at Windsor.


I can't see a difference in the paintings, myself, but it does appear they were all scanned from different sources, probably photos or book pictures with slightly different inks. I've never heard of there being multiple copies of this portrait, from any source.

I've always thought of the gown as salmon colored.
