I'm trying to find a portrait of an Elizabethan or Italian lady wearing what
we'd call a pillbox hat. There's one that's OK in QEWU of the Countess of
Kildare but I know I've seen much better ones showing lots of beads pearls,
and in color. Any leads?

Y'all are the best!
I'll dash down to the library Thanks so much Suzanne! Meanwhile,
yes please Sharon, I'l love a copy of your handouts. Hopefully the
styles arent too different between centuries. We do the meetup stuff
off-list.

Oops. Make that the Countess of Lincoln; her mother's the Kildare.
Anyway, the portrait is dated c 1575, by anonymous, and in the collection of
the National Gallery of Ireland.

I think this picture, and others like it, are what makes people think that
there is a padded roll style of headdress. It certainly looks like that to
me, but you say it is a pillbox hat?

The thing that struck me about this portrait is that it is the first one I've
ever seen that didn't look like some kind of padded roll or twisted/braided
arrangement. It has an edge and structure to it, which is even more obvious
when you look at the black white photo I saw first, here:

I think it is a hat that is angled so that it looks like a pillbox.
