I'm going to assume that you meant to suggest this portrait as an
example of Canadian smocking, but I don't think it is. It's possible
that it's slashing-and-pinking, but in fact on close inspection it looks
more like embroidery meant to look like slashing-and-pinking. Or it may
be that this is an illusion created by the artist trying to represent
slashing backed by cloth-of-gold.

That's not a valid link. Do you recall the title and artist?
