It isn't really more on the Mary I painting, but this miniature of Catherine de Medici has the same odd ermine piping, and prominant eyes. http://www.allposters.com/-sp/Miniature-of-Catherine-De-Medici-Posters_i1586548_.htm I wonder if they know that Margurite of Valois further down the page is upside down? ________________________________________ From: h-costume-boun...@indra.com [h-costume-boun...@indra.com] On Behalf Of Patricia Dunham [chim...@ravensgard.org] Sent: Wednesday, March 04, 2009 2:38 AM To: Historical Costume Subject: Re: [h-cost] Mary I -- FOUND
My dear husband is loopy tonight, too much work out in the cold today. So he was noodling around on-line, bored with his cheating cribbage program (!), and found the original Mary I painting. http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheHouseOfTudor still looking for an attribution. (for hours and hours and hours! no luck!!) ah, the wonder-boy does it again! I had cleaned away all the links to the engraving that started this, but he has found it http://womenshistory.about.com/od/tudor/a/tudor_women_4.htm The caption there says "after Holbein"! Comparing the two, we find it very interesting how much older the monochrome looks (the person in the monochrome, I mean), vs. the child in color! The white furring in the color image looks much more reasonable, too. enjoy!
