Out of curiosity and basically ignorance on this style of embroidery, what
is the earliest documentable date redwork was used on garments? It is
stunning!
I teach Blackwork...which includes Redwork and other Monochrome embroidery.
I have found photos from the 16th century from the Hardwick collection at
http://costume.dm.net/blackwork/portraits/hardwickphoto.jpg and others at
http://costume.dm.net/blackwork/portraits/jesus.jpg and
Mistress Aspasia, do you (or anybody else for that matter) know more
about the painting that this detail is from?
Thanks,
Jerusha
