While I can't say that 17th century fashion is my particular favorite, I do love the amount of lace detail seen on the ruffs and the gowns. I just wanted to share some pictures I found particularly striking.

Some of the pictures were really large, so if you want to view a larger and more detailed image of one of the works, you can go to my lj picture gallery.


Work: Portrait of Margherita Gonzaga
Artist: Frans Pourbus the Younger
Date: C. 1605.
