Could you direct me to an online pic of this? I have come across through browsing some 1400s Italian paintings with sheer material layer over fabric of the over gown. Most were by the same artist but one w/embroidery by another artist from an earlier period. All but one are allegorical and the embroidered I think was a saint but I don't think the way these are painted that it is a whimsical fantasy of the artist(s).
