This is not Tudor or Elizabethan, but Bronzino did at leasttwo of the same
person in the same dress with different sleeves.

Help!!
My consort and I are preparing a class about visual sources and why they
should not be taken as 100% gospel when doing costuming research, and as
usual once I get past about 1300 I hit a snag. :-) If you want to
discourse on the changes in sleeve geometry from 1200 to 1300 in England
and France, I'm your girl. Anything after that, though, and I am at a
total loss. Our stated time frame is up to 1600, and we have sources up to
and including 1300. However, we would also like to use examples from post
1300 as well, and that's where I come to all you later-period specialists.
I have been told that there are several portraits out there, by the same
artist, of different sitters, but using the same or almost the same dress.
Is this in fact the case, and if so, where can I find images of these
portraits?
My consort tells me that there are also portraits of various male members
of a family all portrayed in the same suit of armor--again, if anyone has
any references I can chase down that would be incredibly helpful.
And yes, I plan on using the portrait of Elizabeth in the eyes-and-ears
gown as an example of symbolism.
Many many many thanks,
