My friend Mathilde is living in the Middle East for a while, so decided to start a large embroidery project for the quiet times.
She’s chosen to recreate the headgear from this portrait of a Dutch woman from the late 1550s, from a painting by Anthony Mor. It’s a typical headdress of this period, an evolution of the hovetcleet, and will look fantastic.
You can follow her progress on her craft blog.
