The lower sleeves are deep maroon in most of the repros I have seen. It is funny that so many color reproductions vary in quality from place to place. Anybody ever see the real portrait up close and personal? And BTW, the lower sleeves (which tie into the armhole BTW, on the Lucrezia Panciatichi gown are eggplant purple (aubergine). Makes for the possibility of interesting color combos for costumers who do early 16th C. Florentine... Dame Catriona MacDuff

Bronzino (and Carpaccio) is one of my favorite > artists -- next to the ladies, of course :-) My favorite Bronzino book (and they have a Carpaccio one, too) is by "The Library of Great Masters" series. They are printed by the Riverside Book Company. They are about 8 1/2" by 11" and softcover but have nice, big color reproductions of the paintings. They are about art, but the pictures are very nice quality. For example, you can see that Laura Battiferri's dress is brown and black, not just all black (those who know this painting, will know what I mean!) The Bronzino ISBN is 1-878351-52-4 The Carpaccio ISBN is 0-09-470170-9 And they have other good painters as well.... Hope that helps!
