An image of a woman's hat.

I just got a link to a new image, courtesy of ravenessdotcom, that I would like your thoughts on.

Here's the image link to the wga.

MINIATURIST, Flemish
Grimani Breviary: The Month of August
1490-1510
Illumination on parchment, 280 x 215 mm
Biblioteca Nazionale Marciana, Venice

Sadly, not as well dated as I would like, as fashions were shifting quite a bit from 1490s into the 1510s.

What caught ravenessdotcom eye was the lady's hat, which appears "like the back was pulled up like a bonigrace, and there is a netting caul underneath."

Thoughts, folks? Especially those of you who understand the late medieval styles - which I don't.

painting, research
