I love how this painting is so detailed that you an see the golden designs on her clothing look like cheap ironed on patches as they fray out into the air on the edges. On closer inspection, it almost looks as if the white layer is a separate garment entirely to the designs on top.

    I have seen this kind of works from close-up. Our neighbor was a master parament stitcher (not sure if this is the correct English term), and she had some awesome works in her flat. Including her masterpiece, a Madonna stitched with dozends of different techniques.
