But there's a difference between _whether_ the art represents actual clothing details and how _well_ it does so. The failure to represent how a design on fabric would follow the folds of the fabric doesn't automatically imply that it doesn't represent an actual fabric design. That aspect seems to be more a matter of the artistic conventions of the time.
