I cannot find an image of a gentleman in breeches and skirted

When in doubt, I check Norris for leads. I know he redraws, but its
a redraw from something original, even if it is partly made up or modified.
In this case, Charles IX by Francois Clouet, 1569.

There are a lot of his images. Go down just a little bit, and images
#9 and #10 should do you right.
Seems that style is not much in fashion at that time, because it was
the only one with such long skirts that I could find. Norris does
show a Scottish nobleman, 1567 with skirts almost as long, but I
don't know where the original image would be located to confirm.

Thanks Kimiko, but I don't think it's quite what I am after - I
trawled the Clouets already. I have a picture of a shorter doublet
and Venetians which I may have to go with.
