Description
The crimson satin doublet, with embellishments in gold cord and slightly padded around the abdomen, and the velvet stockings have enabled a three-dimensional reconstruction of the outfit, while the surcoat featuring a high collar and broad sleeves opening inwards was restored to reveal the exquisite Damask fabric. The surcoat was embellished with a double cummerbund in velvet in a decorative cut. The outfit was paired with a black velvet cap.
