Head Detail of Lady Margaret Butts

Lady Margaret Butts, by Hans Holbein the Younger, 1543. Dimensions: 46 × 37 cm, Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, Boston, MA, USA.

Notice how tightly and oddly this English hood is sitting on her head. It is pulling at her right temple area, yet the left temple area is overshadowed by the hood.
