Actually, that painting is nearly dead-on to about 5 paintings attributed to several artists. A few months back I was digging into the source of an lithograph I had found in Levi-Piesetsky (sp? I'm lazy today). I was trying to find out who this Bahuet guy was, and we came to the general conclusion that she made an error in the translations to his name or something like that, that it was likely based on something else. I had said the same thing, that the dates given didn't match that of Eleanora. Some of the other paintings that came up relative said they were ladies of her court, not Herself. The others that look like this one are dated in the 1540-1560's range. I have the fabric and trimmings, even the gold couching pattern ready.... just a matter of getting to making the thing.... so many projects, so little time. Especially when I have one that has me painted into a corner like that Florentine hose I am knawing on.... no one has any ideas on how to do this? Anyone? Bueller?
