Lovely Eric,


This is an interesting series which I am also quite fond of as well.  (Another reason to love flats is series like this - the history of costume!) 


As always stunningly painted!

The only set I am aware of with 16th century Spanish court costumes, for me these brings to life  the age of the sons of Gustav Wasa. The last couple in the first picture I immediatelly recognize as based on a print by Heinrich Aldegrever, as are the 1937 Kulmbach Tagungsfigures.

Not exactly my era or genre, but the artistry is outstanding! They really pop on the black background. Oils, I presume...?
