I am on the research faculty at Georgia Tech, but a couple of years ago,
my wife and I moved back to Athens, GA (location of UGA for the
non-alumni). A bit of a commute, but I don't go in to campus every day.
Lonnie,
p.s. I graduated with the BFA in 1985.

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
