Chimene & Gerek, My thanks to you both for finding the elusive painting. At least now I can make sleeves like that, and have a good model to work from.
But I still say this is not a Holbein, tho if it is "after Holbein", then it may have been done by a student of Holbein's. I am beginning to think this may be a French woman or Mary QoS, but not Queen Mary I of England. Too many images of her, as Princess and as Queen wearing the Henrician styles. The face isn't even the same. http://www.kimiko1.com/research-16th/FrenchHood/1540/PrncMary.html http://www.kimiko1.com/research-16th/FrenchHood/1550/QueenMaryTudorMor1554.html Kimiko --- On Wed, 3/4/09, Patricia Dunham <chim...@ravensgard.org> wrote: > his cheating cribbage program (!), and found the original > Mary I painting. > > http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheHouseOfTudor <snip> > found it > http://womenshistory.about.com/od/tudor/a/tudor_women_4.htm > The caption there says "after Holbein"! _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
