Subject: [lace] Shakespeare wearing lace
Personally, I really don't care if it was Shakespeare's collar or not - I
just
Love it, and wish we could see a better close up of the Reticella!!!!
However, - I would think that it most probably was his own, as by then he
was
famous, and quite "Someone", so could most probably afford this one
special
piece - for High days ans holidays!! They used to wear their Very Best
for
portraits, and often had a lacemaker sitting with the painter to make sure
they got the lace painted correctly.
I am always amazed, and in awe, at the skills of the painters, - when we
could
make a fair replica of the lace just from a painting made centuries ago.
