painted c.1560 by Alonso Sanchez Coello is the last, and youngest, of this collection. The golden embroideries in ribbon and bouillion, which cover the entire gown, are simply incredible - the estimation is that a single embroiderer must have at least worked a year on this masterpiece of fashion. Isabel wears a high necked partlet made of pearls - a fashion which was also known to have been worn by Eleonora Di Toledo in her probably most famous painting - the one with the incredibly patterned, cut velvet gown; but Eleonora's did not have the later fashionable standing collar as this gown here does. Isabel furthermore wears exceptional jewelry as well as jewelled trims with her gown. The sleeves are decorated with wound-up trims and pairs of aglets (which basically served to secure the ends of lacings - but as we can see here, it was also possible to use them in a different way). Interesting enough is the leather glove Isabel wears in the picture - this would suggest that this gown was worn as everyday clothing.
