The first one was Bingo! I thought it was a seated figure but the style of
the gown is true to my other source. The other views you cite are also
interesting!
Thanks for the look-see; I see I have my work cut out ... (The exhibit I am
working on is presently developing with the title "Cut Down to Size")

Questions re my ongoing project of H-costume in minature: I have a quest
to
interpret Maria Teresa coronation gown;.Time: 1740
Books before me: Imperial Style: fashions of the Hapsburg era, #91
Is this gown a velvet 'robe Anglaise' with mantua of silk or is the silk
piece a shawl/wrap?
or (2) a gown of two pieces with stomacher and 'coat' or shawl
What is the color scheme? (My resource is in black and white)
I have found the sleeve in "Art of Costume in Russia", plate referance #13
For any one who might have this portrait in color...painted by/ or of the
studio of Marten von Meytens.
Thanks
Kathleen (Who hasn't told Queen Maud that she has another commission!)
