some interesting fur
http://www.artcyclopedia.com/artists/bacchiacca_francesco.html (click on the image for a bigger one!)
came across this in one of the books I picked up at the weekend. It is mid 16th century and is a painting of Magdalene, so I do take it with a grain of salt, but the dress loos contemporary. So the question is given the colour what type of fur is it? or is just off colour ermine?
Intriguing!
thoughts appreciated!
