A bit more on 15C clerical dress: linen surplices

[silverwhistle]

I've found some close-up details of a 15C linen surplice (the garment Claude throws on over his nightshirt in the Porte Rouge scene). It's from Jean Fouquet's Pietà at Nouans, worn by a canon who is probably called Jacques, as Saint James appears to be behind him as his name-saint:

• Upper part of sleeve insertion
• Lower part of sleeve insertion and insertion of side-gore (NB the pattern of the stitching)

Enguerrand Quarton/Charonton also shows us a similar garment on the donor in his Villeneuve-lès-Avignon Pietà.
