It looks similar to the lacing of a Venetian costume of earlier period. The ribbon would have been silk during this period. SO... I think it looks like a wide silk ribbon has been woven through some kind of small loop, then folded back over it to the other side. The width of the ribbon seems to be wide at the turn then narrow where it comes to the side, then wider back across. Just a guess but it looks like that to me. Very similar to how silk roses are folded.

Sincerely,
Rebecca Rautine

Quoting otsisto <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

Anyone have an idea as to how the blue on the plastron is constructed?
Is it a section on material that has a wee bit of gather in the center and
clipped on the sides?

You know it's *really* late when you look at that painting and the *first* thought that goes through your brain is, "Oh, look. She's wearing a Mickey Mouse Watch ....."

*blink*

going to bed now.
