Juana la Loca - lots of different variants of this portrait image, with a fair amount of blurring of detail going on as gets copied over time.

My first Anne de Bretagne portrait. Note the similarities to the two styles above, even in colouring. Layered gowns, with a dark, narrow-necked gown reveled under a wider-necked, centre-fastening, fur-lined gown with sleeves that flare over the forearm. Very similar hoods, transitional between hood-hoods and later French, etc, hoods. Have a look below her chin -- looks like that gold pleatwork is attached to a white linen that's also pleated.

Anne's seal. It does show how you can wear a crown over this headgear... I'm mainly interested for the layers and the gathering.

englishhistory.net/tudor/monarchs/aragon.html - This time we see how the dark underdress meets at the front. Was the gold pleatwork like polyfilla or a draft stop to fill in the space between the headgear and the head?
