French Hood Images

Full View of Unknown Lady

Unknown Lady, by unknown artist, date unknown. By her hood style, I would date this late 1490s to 1500s.

Because of the fold in the white layer, I think she may be Flemish. Note her undercap, visible under the white layer and black hood, is decorated, probably in embroidery, like is seen in this extant cap.

With great thanks to Racaire for taking this photo in the Kunsthistorisches Museum Wien.
