Painting of the Week

[olde_fashioned]

A much earlier gown this time, with a bit of an autumn flavour to it. ;-) My favourite aspect of this one is the blackwork on her chemise!

Feel free to discuss and/or drool! ;-P

This portrait is lovely! I'm trying to figure out if the grid-like pattern that appears on the turned down part of her collar is just the "back side" of the design on the front or not...it looks too regular to be the reverse of the floral design. I'm inclined to think that the lining of the collar was worked with a separate pattern. Thoughts?

Oooooh!!! I hadn't noticed that!!! Nice catch. I'm inclined to agree with you. ;-D
