What is the reason that several Dutch portraits have the person wearing one
glove and holding the other? Most of them are on the right hand but the one
of Valois one is on the left.
If nothing else, I've been introduced to the massive amounts of portraits
from the references in this discussion board.

Ah ha, Suzi, you've got it! It is Henry Wriothesley, the third Earl of
Southampton. You can find his portrait in the portrait section of the
http://www.boughtonhouse.org.uk/ page or I think this will take you
directly there:

An interesting piece of trivia about this portrait...it is supposedly the
first English portrait painted with a cat in it.
Cheers,
Danielle

What would you use for the small bows?
I would recomend you to use silk ribbon of the kind used for ribbon work,
its so soft and delicate and would make very nice bows.

Okay, I have everything fixed. This is the drawing I
was talking about:

Look familiar to anyone?
This looks like a redrawing from a painting of someone who was imprisoned
in the Tower of London, and was painted with a cat. I copied these gloves
for the Tower some years ago. I will look out the research and post as
soon as I can.
