Sleeve

I visited the 'Reformation to Revolution' exhibits at the Scottish National Portrait Gallery today and was very impressed by one painting in particular.  I have done only a part of the painting as due to copyright I’m not sure if I can post the whole portrait.

In 1679 Bernadetto Gennari painted her showing her wealth and power wearing sumptuous fabrics.  The painting seemed to be almost 3D and I’m hoping that the section of her sleeve shows this
