Hi Deredere,
I would use a gold passing thread wich you couch on the surface, but first i
would embroider the red areas. You could simply cover the red areas with
tiny chainstitches. After that couch on the gold passing thread. My guess is
that it would be quicker to do, than to cut out and
I would love to embroider it by hand but knowing myself I would never
finish it :-( .
So I have a few options.
Totally embroider it by machine.
Or appliques of wool or silk and gold cord stichet on by machine.

Thanx for the idea.
I think I used something like this.
I wanted to buy the stuf that sticks on one side but bought the double
sided instead.
I didn't know that it existed.
My local shop sells it I think. It is probably not the same but I can
try if it works.

Ah yes! I've seen this portrait before. My first question, as
always, is what did they do at the time? Embroidery I will admit is
not my strongest suit and perhaps I am conjuring up the wrong mental
picture of what you mean by wool felt. But my gut reaction is no,
not wool.
In part it is
Most likely, I am thinking appliques of red velvet,
outlined with cord. Wool felt might work, but won't
look as rich as the velvet would.
Good luck, and I would love to see pictures when you

There is a larger picture online somewhere that shows the red to be
embroidery, probably silk thread. But if you are asking about cutting back
on the embroidery by appliquing wool felt where there is red, I would
recommend a velvet or silk. Not sure they would have appliqued wool on to
silk back
