1548 Empress Isabel by Titian (Prado)

This image is from the Prado's site, and the following images are excerpts from it. This high-resolution image will expand when you click on it.

Her dress has a double neckline. The main neckline is square with the upward-pointing crescent at the bottom, but modesty is provided by the partlet, ending in a small ruff, that conceals everything except part of her neck and her head. Her gown is complex with false sleeves filled in by her chemise and an over-skirt over an ornate kirtle.
