I know that when I saw this image it surprised me, as it was the first time I'd seen it ever, in spite of having done many hours of image research on sideless surcotes, on many previous occasions. No idea why this image is so obscure or elusive. I may be in for some sort of shock, if ever I do see it again.
I've read your description (quoted below), but I'm not quite catching why this image is special. As you said, there's plenty of images of surcotes, and plenty of those images were painted with pink pigments. Was there something about this one that made it unusual?
I should note that I have a collection of several hundred surcote images, including quite a few I've photographed off the original artworks, but the description you gave is way too generic for me to even begin to look.

One in particular is still haunting me. Period painting, a group of people with some emphasis towards the left side of the painting (viewer's perspective) - One woman was seated, turned slightly to her right, the viewer's left. She was wearing a sideless surcote in what would be called pink ...in modern terms, but a deep, rich pink if I recall correctly, and it was draped on the floor around her feet.
