Greeting from a fellow UGA grad. I have MFA in Fabric Design with a minor in
computer art. 1997 grad. Miss it too. I'm now in PA... waaayyy up north. I
miss the warmth of the south but not the tornados.
Where are you?

Subject: [h-cost] Greetings and question about a painting
Greetings!
I am new to the list. I have a BFA in a theater from the University of
Georgia (US) in both performance and costume design. I went on into
computer science, but have continued costuming, mostly in community
theater settings.
I have a question about the fabric/material used in the Beham "Portrait of
a Man", German/Bavarian, 1529. My original guess was a velvet, but looking
closer at the image, especially the cut-work in the trim and collar, I
have begun wondering if this was a suede of some kind. I am curious as to
what fabrics would be likely.
Here is a good link to the portrait. Clicking on the image brings up a
larger view that can go up to 200% of the image to see more of the detail.

Thanks!
Lonnie
