I can only think of Rembrandt's portrait of Jan Six. http://www.artchive.com/artchive/R/rembrandt/jan_six.jpg.html has links to 2 articles which discuss the significance of the gloves in this picture.
Kate Bunting Librarian and 17th century reenactor >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 15/03/2006 12:48 >>> What is the reason that several Dutch portraits have the person wearing one glove and holding the other?
