As you may have guessed, this project ended up being significantly more massive than anticipated. This is the start of Stage 2 of my notes for you to springboard off of if needed; just make sure to give credit and a link back to here. I had originally planned to publish all of the Stage 2 notes--describing the clothing of each guy in the paintings, but then realized that that post would be massive, since this 13 pages without images, and is only the first of the artists (although one of the more prolific ones). As a reminder--since I have had someone try to tempt me into scope creep into foods and maybe women's clothing as well--I am only focusing on the men and menswear for this project, since there is a fair amount on women's clothing out there already.
For the most part, I am listing the clothing articles from top to bottom, outside to inside, or at least do so towards the end. The paintings are presented in chronological order when the date is known, in order to show any developments in fashion during the time he lived in whatever town. For the most parts, I do not give my theories as to what the garments are made of, but given that we are dealing with lower class, various wools are most likely, with linen for the shirts.
I do not plan to put up copies of every one of the paintings, which, I need to note for copyright, do not belong to me and are public domain. Image source is linked with the title of the painting.
One (partial) step closer to the end goal!
Pieter
Aertsen 1508-1575. Born in Amsterdam (Netherlands),
moved to and lived in Antwerp (Northern Belgium) from around 1540-1555, when he moved back to
Amsterdam. Presumably, the subjects in his paintings were local to him. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pieter_Aertsen

Other features of interest include, as always, pottery, a pair of what may be tarts (the reason I'm sharing it today, on PI day), a lovely piece of glassware. There may be a board game on the table. The floor is strewn with leeks(why?!), and some variety of flower I don't know enough to identify. There is also a lovely little eating knife in detail, and a...salt cellar?
o Leftmost (1)
§ Black hat. Broad brim of the “top hat” type. Appears to be slightly fuzzy,so I gather it is knit and/or slightly thrummed
§ Black cloth hose.
§ Shoes of black leather,
possibly slashed, of the pumps/Mary Rose type
§ Midnight blue Jerkin. Long skirted, not pleated. V neck or crossover. Quite short sleeves.
§ Red “doublet”. Sleeves are close but not tight, and appear
to have some kind of fastening at the cuff.
It peeks out of the jerkin at the neck.
§ Shirt of white, only visible
at the neck. No details.
§ Belt is basic, black leather
with what appears to be a double lobed buckle.
§ Dagger of the “bullock” type
o Musician (2)
§ Brown jerkin, buttoning down
the front with possibly glass buttons.
No collar. About thigh length
with side slits
§ Blue-green doublet, form
seems similar to above.
§ Shirt is visible at neck but
no details
o Fireplace guy (3)
§ Black hat appears knit, flat on top with a moderate brim
§ Medium brown cloth hose.
§ Black shoes, no slashing
visible, same as first.
§ Red jerkin, short sleeves,
no visible fastening. Length is mid
thigh, and it may be longer in the back?
Shoulder seams at set at the point of shoulder (both scye and body)
§ Dark blue Doublet is
as above, wrist length. There may be a
pinked strip at the wrists.
Frame purse, plus something unknown hanging behind it. Looks like a dagger sheath, but no hilt visible.
o Dancer (4)
§ Black shoes as above.
§ Black cloth hose, although
the fit is slightly better than the others.
§ Dark charcoal knee length
hose of a closer fit. A codpiece is
visible, and the cuff is rolled up.
§ Grey crossover jerkin. Barely thigh length, with a side slit to the
hip. There is a slight grown on
collar. I see either shoulder wings with
long sleeves, or the doublet is made of the same fabric and the jerkin has
short sleeves. Dropped shoulder seam.
Presumably, that red hat on the floor is his. Knit, flat topped and with a moderate brim, it's slightly thrummed or otherwise fuzzy.

o 1 (only guy there!)
§ A red jerkin is being worn,
closely fitted, and fastening on the left side.
Mid thigh length, and close skirts.
You can clearly see the self cloth buttons and a gap between the edges
of the opening. Sleeves are quite short.
§ At first glance, a greenish
charcoal doublet is worn. However, based
on the gap in the jerkin, which shows more natural (sheep coloured) cloth, I
think that he is wearing separate sleeves!
It appears there are more self buttons and hints of buttonholes on the
short sleeves of the jerkin. These
sleeves are closely fitted.
§ Hints of white show at the
cuffs and neck, which more or less matches that showing at the side opening as
well; either he is wearing a heavy shirt, or this is the doublet. I am leaning towards it being a shirt because
wearing three layers of sleeves doesn’t make sense.
§ Hose are closely fitted and
go all the way up. They could be either
knit or cloth—I can’t tell either way, although they do look relatively heavy.
§ Shoes are black latchet
shoes, side not open.
§ Belt is a simple thick rope,
loosely tied. A knife set is suspended
from it in a molded leather sheath (black).
o 2 (hiding in the back. I didn’t see him until I zoomed in).
§ Clothing appears to be
similar to the above, although lacking detail.
Jerkin is sheeps black and appears to have brown trim at the hem.
§ Sleeves or doublet
taupe.
§ Shirtsleeves slightly
ruffled and peeking out.
§ Hose are closely fitted and
black.
§ Hat is low, with a lightly
rolled up hem.
§ Thin black belt, being
pulled down by the weight of all the stuff hanging off it.
o 1
§ Red Hat is broad brimmed,
and with a deep flat top. It is probably
a blocked hat, not knit. There is a band
or rope of the same colour around the crown.
§ Jerkin is light brown,
possibly leather. Bicep length
sleeves. Fit is fairly loose, and it
appears he is wearing either a narrow belt lost in the folds, or there is a
waist seam. Skirts appear to come to mid
thigh, but there is definitely some blousing going on there. Garment may be allegorical and suspect.
§ Doublet is blue/black, with
only the sleeves visible. They stop at
the wrist bone, and are medium fitted, not close but not extra poofy either..
§ Hose are brownish (same
issue as with the jerkin), and appear to be fairly close fitting and go to mid
thigh at least (so likely full length joined hose).
§ Short hair, unshaven to
bearded.
§ He also has a gourd bottle
slung over his shoulder. About fist
sized on the bottom bit.
o 1
§ Not much can be seen of his
clothing, beside the doublet sleeves. Which
are moderately fitted, and slightly longer than wrist length. Cuff is close, but I do not see a slit.
§ Full beard, and short
slightly messy hair
o 2 (Young guy)
§ Greenish chocolate coloured
doublet, with no visible shoulder seam for the sleeve.
§ Hair is short and brushed
forwards. Clean shaven.
o 1
§ Flattened cloche type hat,
medium brown.
§ High hip length doublet of red,
sleeves are close fitting, and no collar.
No visible front opening—either was neglected or could be side
fastening.
§ Over this, a vest/jerkin of
something tan, perhaps leather. It is
slightly longer than the doublet, but may not close in the front (worn open). It has short sleeves to mid bicep.
§ Something is around his
hips…perhaps an apron. It appears to be
grey or natural linen?
§ The area around his hips is
covered, but you can see tight fitting hose of red going all the way up.
§ Low black shoes.
§ Hair is short, and he
appears to have a pointed beard.
o 2
§ Odd kind of cap. Red, worn high on the head with a pointed
front and ear flaps.
§ Doublet is similar to the
above, although apparently less fitted through the body as I see wrinkles
there. Sleeves are fitted and only wrist
length.
§ Over the doublet is a jerkin
of black, worn open at the waist. It may
be fastened at the neck. It does have a
standing collar (open at the front), which shows an edging of white—possibly
the shirt collar. Sleeves are quite short.
§ He is definitely wearing an
apron, possibly of natural linen, and possibly with large pockets.
§ Breeches are just that. Fairly close fitting shorts or Venetians in
dark brown; there is some interesting light play going on in the folds, which
suggests a velveteen, but that wouldn’t fit with the scene?
§ Stockings are grey, or a
natural wool and gartered at the knee.
§ Shoes are low and black.
§ No beard, and hair is mostly
hidden under the cap.
o 3
§ Flattened cloche style hat,
same as person 1, held in the hand.
§ Doublet is a faded red,
close fitting, and with a collar.
§ A falling band is visible.
§ I am not sure what is around
his waist. Almost like extremely narrow
trunkhose. Or maybe a wide fabric belt
and the trunkhose? Colour is a yellowish
brown.
§ An apron is visible. White.
§ Stockings go up to the
thigh, are closely fit, and grey.
§ Low black shoes.
§ Short hair, no beard.
o 5 (not much visible)
§ Doublet or jerkin of slightly
greenish brown. Sleeves are long, and
moderately close fitting. No visible
collar. The armscye looks odd, and may
have pleats at the sleevehead.
§ I think he is wearing a hat,
black.
o 6, Basket sitter
§ Doublet of palest yellow,
visible only at the close fitted but unshaped sleeves. Sleeves are short.
§ Black hat, possibly knit and
fulled. Looks kinda like a beanie.
§ Jerkin is a style which is
long and doesn’t have a separate pleated skirt.
Appears to be a short shawl type collar, and the sleeves are /very/
short. Length is low thigh, and there
may be pleats in the center back. I’m
thinking that the front is crossover.
§ Hose are a charcoal grey,
and cloth.
§ Shoes are low and black.
§ Hair is not visible, and
appears to be clean shaven.
o 7
§ Red skullcap type hat.
§ Jerkin is a slightly
orangish brown, and long sleeved to the wristbone. It doesn’t appear to close all the way.
§ Doublet under it is slightly
yellow, and is not particularly visible.
§ White apron, worn high on
the waist.
§ Short closely fitted
trunkhose.
§ Knit? Hose of madder/faded
red.
§ A satchel is worn, but not
visible (strap is)
§ Usual low black shoes.
§ Cleanshaven, and hair is
short, if slightly longer than the norm.
o 8
§ Black bowler type hat.
§ Mouse coloured crossover
doublet/jerkin, open at the neck and showing bare skin. Sleeves are close and not particularly long.
§ Apron is being worn, and
drapes in some interesting folds.
§ Short trunkhose things in a
dark red.
§ Hosen are “salmon” coloured
and tightly fitted.
§ Usual black shoes.
o 9, Well, dude?
§ Reddish (faded?) hat,
looking much like a beret.
§ Dark mouse coloured jerkin, waist
length. Close fitting short (mid-bicep)
sleeves. Short collar is visible with
white edging/
§ Doublet is light coloured or
just shirt sleeves, although that is rather close fitting for a shirt.
§ He is wearing actual loose trousers
in faded red. Can’t see the length.
o 10. Can’t see much
§ Outer garment is loosely
fitted, with long sleeves. Colour is pale grey.
§ Headwear is a closely fitted
hood with a mantle.
o 1 (dipping boy)
§ Black, likely knitted, flat
cap.
§ Jerkin is of a lovely mole
brown. It has extremely short, slightly
gathered sleeves and comes to a bit above the knee. You can see the skirt opening is at the
front. A short collar is visible, and
there is something interesting going on at the waist…I cannot tell what.
§ Doublet is also long
skirted, about the same length, and is red.
Sleeves are wrist length, and loosely fitted.
§ Hosen are pale robin’s egg
blue cloth and appear to go all the way up.
§ Shoes are low, but
enclosed. Black leather and welted.
§ Hair is short (and red).
o 2 (looks like the
homeowner?)
§ Hat is a wide brimmed and
small crowned number, which is too small to actually fit on his head, so it is
cocked to one side. It appears to be
knitted.
§ Red Jerkin is short sleeved,
with obvious pleating at the top. Skirts
are cut on, and I think this is a cross
front/dbl-breasted jerkin example, as there is no visible front opening at the
bottom of the belly. Fit is moderately
close, but rectangular. I think that the
skirt has a front opening, with a bit of crossover, but am not sure. There is a short collar. Most likely wool.
§ His doublet is silvery grey. All that is visible is the sleeves, which are
moderately close fitted and long wrist length.
They appear to be wool.
§ White/dirty white
Hosen…these are interesting. I can’t see
what is going on, but I gather they are breeches, ending just below the knee,
and a cut on cuff. They appear to have a
patched stress tear at the inside knee.
Fit is close, but not tight…they look a lot like regency era breeches,
honestly.
§ Stockings, are a plainer
grey than the doublet. Knitted, I think.
§ Black mules are being worn.
§ Clean shaven, but his hair
actually has some length to it.
o 3 (Guest)
§ Hat is quite broad brimmed,
with a square top. Colour is brown. This
has got to be a blocked hat, given how thin and wide the brim is. Crown appears to flare outward somewhat.
§ Jerkin; I think this may be leather. Short bicep length sleeves, a hint of
gathering. Wide neckline. It may be a crossover front garment, but
there is no sign of it at the base of the neck.
If not, I do not know how he puts it on.
Length is mid thigh, and there is no sign of seam at the waist. You can see the seams at the shoulder,
armscye, and something forward of the side (could be the opening, but no sign
of fasteners).
§ Thin black belt, with a
short curved sword and bullock dagger hanging from it.
§ Blackish/green Doublet is visible
at the neck and sleeves, which are close and come to the wrist. There is no collar. Slits are visible at the wrist.
§ You can see white shirt
peeking out at the wrists, and at the neck where there is visible smocking and
a narrow ruff. The opening there appears
to be slightly to the right of the neck.
§ Hosen are red cloth, closely
fitted, and appear to go all the way up.
There may be a codpiece (I see a bulge as formed by one in his jerkin
skirt).
§ Shoes are low and black.
§ Hair is short, and he is clean
shaven.

o 1 (Standing guy
§ Broad brimmed hat, grey.
§ Greyish blue doublet,
crossover type. It doesn’t even reach is
waist or cover the potbelly. Rough
collar, and the front angles diagonally from the shoulder to about the bottom
of the armcye before crossing over and fastening under the arm. Slight drop shoulder. Sleeves are moderate, not particularly loose or tight, and
are wrist length.
§ Blackish pants with some
golden sheen to them, which could be sun fading on black wool. I suspect they are full length, and they
gather into a narrow waistband. I see no
codpiece.
§ His shirt appears to be
close fitting, and has no collar.
§ Clean shaven, short hair.
o 2 (sitting)
§ Thrummed hat! Which appears to be pinkish.
§ Doublet of red, it looks
like there is a grown on back collar, but not much of one. Sleeves are slightly long. I cannot tell what
kind of fastening he has, but it doesn’t look like down the front. The garment is waist length.
§ Loose fitting trousers of
slightly greenish grey. As above, you
can see gathering into a waistband, and the trousers are ankle length.
§ Clogs! He has them.
These have projections on the bottom, at the heel and just back of the
ball of the foot. No socks are worn.
§ Short hair, slightly
unshaven

The
Pancake Bakery, 1560 http://collectie.boijmans.nl/en/object/1408/The-Pancake-Bakery/Pieter-Aertsen#
o Sitting Dude (1)
§ Madder red jerkin. Quite short sleeves appear to be cut in one
with the body. The fabric (likely wool)
is apparently quite thick. No fastinings
are evident, although there may be some hooks and eyes at the neck. No collar, and neckline is a round cornered
rectangle.
§ “Doublet” Mocha/chocolate
brown. All you can see are the sleeves
and hints through the open jerkin.
Sleeves are of moderate fit, with narrow wrists; they appear to be no
longer than needed, and ruched up slightly with wear.
§ A blackish belt is
evident. No details.
§ Hair: Mostly clean shaven
with some stubble. Hints of a mustache,
but probably just thicker stubble. Hair
is short and curly.
o Pancake Thief (2)
§ Broad brimmed straw hat of
the “boater” type, made of braided straw cords.
§ Medium blue sleeved
jacket. Sleeves are moderately close
fitting, with wrist length cuffs getting pulled up from the bent arm, meaning
they are not two piece; a slit at the close cuff is visible. It looks like there is some kind of shawl
collar(?), and the garment is worn crossover, secured by a belt?
§ Red “waistcoat” just visible
at the chest. No collar, but the
neckline may be bound. Neckline is
fairly low. Speculatively, it may be a crossover
garment as well.
§ White shirt with blackwork
embroidery. Two solid black lines are
visible at the edge of the neckline, which is loose, and a row of crosses or
‘X’s just under that. I believe there is
a bosom slit, based on the fold there, and the smaller ‘x’s going down under
the waistcoat.
§ Hair: Definite mustache
growing going on. Stubble elsewhere, but
neck is shaven. Hair is short, messy,
and curly.

§ I am pretty sure his jerkin
is a dark blue, with bare sleeve caps.
Comes down to the mid thigh, and looks fairly heavy.
§ Doublet sleeves are loose,
but not overly large, and wrist length with a slit.
§ Cloth hosen, red.
§ Clogs, with platforms at the
heel and closer to the middle of the foot.
The clogs are pointed.
§ Short hair, long beard.
o 2 (young guy
§ Red flat cap.
§ Kinda a taupe coloured
doublet. Loose sleeved, bare wrist
length. Appears to be fairly short, not
reaching to mid-thigh. No opening was
painted.
§ His hosen are black, and
closely fitted.
§ Shoes are slip on, with a
low heel.
§ Short hair and clean shaven
(or too young to grow a beard).

Interior
of a peasant dwelling. 1560s. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Aertsen_Interior_of_a_peasant_dwelling.jpg
o 1, Sitting Man
§ Almost a bowler type hat,
with the brim apparently wider in the back and quite turned up. Caramel Brown
§ I am not sure what he is
wearing. Doublet, which comes down to a
slight point at the front. Sleeves are relatively loose, and not particularly
long, with slight gathering in the wide armscye. No collar is visible. Light tan fabric.
§ I am seeing a pleated skirt
hanging down in back, of the same fabric as the doublet. It could be part of
the doublet, but I am not sure since the top edge doesn’t seem to match the
bottom edge of the doublet.
§ Short breeches, moderately
close fitting, in what may be black.
§ Dark brown stockings, and
light red tied garters.
§ Shoes are full, and more
natural leather.
o 2
§ He is wearing a tall but
small red hat.
§ Doublet is red, and
presumably relatively close fitting in the sleeves. You can see it close up to the throat, and
hints at the cuffs, and just under the waist.
§ Jerkin is black (sheeps
black?) and appears to be a style crossing over in the front. I see a separate cut skirt, probably pleated,
and not meeting in the front. Cuffs
appear to be rolled back slightly to expose the doublet. What I am seeing as a skirt, could also be a
satchel—the colours are close, and it is hard to tell.
§ A tiny falling band or
collar is showing at his neckline.
§ Whatever he is wearing on
his legs is grey.
o Solo guy, with bucket on
head.
§ Low, worn thrummed hat in
red.
§ Dark brown or sheeps black
Jerkin has no sleeves or collar. Front
opening with no sign of closure. There
may be a waist clasp, or a belt. I can’t
tell. I think it is something like mid
thigh length.
§ Doublet is red. Sleeves are fairly wide at the head with a
hint of gathering, but not blousy; I see fairly thick fabric, and the cuffs do
appear to be self faced (hints of two layers at the cuff). It is front opening, and closed all the way
up with no sign of fasteners, which likely means hook and eye. No collar, and I think the garment is self
bound around the neckline (close in front, but slightly wide).
§ A shirt is visible, and it
doesn’t appear to be fitted at all or really have a collar.
§ I can’t tell anything about
the breeches, other than they appear to be close fitting.
§ Hair is short, and he has a
long, groomed beard.

The
Vegetable Seller, 1567. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/9e/Pieter_Aertsen_006.jpg
o 1
§ We can’t see much of him…but
he /is/ wearing what looks like a thrummed hat.
§ Upper garments—whatever they
are—are browns. I think he is wearing a
couple of different garments, based on the little you see at the neck.
§ It appears he is wearing
trousers, in black.
§ Hair is short, as is his
beard, although that is not neatly groomed.
o 2
§ Wearing a red doublet, hip
length. Sleeves are fitted fairly close,
and there may be a collar.
§ Under that, you see
something almost skirtlike, with front and back pieces. Medium blue/grey, maybe an apron? Given the shape of the side opening, I doubt
it is a garment skirt.
§ Something is in the way of
seeing his pants, hat, and hair.

Market
Scene, 1569. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Pieter_Aertsen_-_Market_Scene_-_Google_Art_Project.jpg
o 1 (probably outlier as upper
class)
§ Jerkin is black and appears
to be sleeveless. A high collar is
visible.
§ Poofy sleeved doublet of
burgundy (dark red)
§ A modest ruff is visible.
§ Knit black flat cap.
§ He may have a long beard…not
sure.
o 2 (Guy drinking)
§ Red jerkin with short
sleeves, with considerable pleats into the cap. It has a medium height, stiff,
collar. I am guessing mid thigh to upper
knee in length, and it appears to have pleats in the back, similar to some
garments in Drei.
§ Doublet likewise has poofy
sleeves, and is a tannish colour.
§ Modest ruff is visible.
§ Short hair, and long but
neatly trimmed beard.
o 3 (working guy
§ Buff coloured jerkin, barely
closing in the front. It has short
sleeves (no poof) and a standing
collar. I am unsure of the fastening in
the front or the length, although that is no longer than mid thigh.
§ His shirt is visible under
that. White, bosom slit down to the
sternum, and with a collar and ruff set into place.
§ I can’t say that he is
wearing a doublet. I have to come to the
conclusion that separate sleeves are being worn, as they are kinda a tan
colour. The sleeves are of moderate fit
and length, with a visible slit.
§ Simple cloth apron, going
from waist to upper knee.
§ Red hose, almost certainly
cloth. There may be sign of a codpiece
under the apron.
§ Hair is slightly longer than
normal and unruly. Beard is rather long
and likewise curly and unruly.

Jesus
Christ and the Woman taken in Adultery.
Date Unknown. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Aertsen_-_Christ_and_the_Woman_Taken_in_Adultery.jpg
o 1 (Onion Holder)
§ We can see two main garments
here. A full skirted jerkin in red. The skirt looks like it is to high knee, and
does not have pleats. There appears to
be a wide, standing shawl type collar.
Fit of the body is relatively close, and I believe I see a side seam.
§ Pale green doublet, with
close fitted sleeves. Cuffs are close
and a slit is visible, sleeves are long enough that his left sleeve appears to
be rolled back by several inches.
§ Long beard, somewhat forked,
and short hair.
o 2 (Basket Sitter)
§ Appears to be wearing a
“mulberry” red coat. Fitted and skirted
as with guy 1. It appears to be a
sleeved garment, rather than a jerkin, but there it could potentially be rather
short sleeved jerkin, with a doublet nearly the same colour underneath.
o 3 (chicken holder)
§ Some detail finally! He is wearing a black felt hat, tall crowned
with a shallow downwards brim.
§ Jerkin has short sleeves,
which are obviously in several pieces, consisting of a pleated upper (pleated
at top and bottom) and a fitted lower part.
The sleeve comes to about the length of my polo shirt sleeves. I see no signs of a closure down the
front. There is a collar. Length is mid-thigh at the most. Around the top edge of the collar, and bottom
edge of the sleeve, are what looks like a strip of self cloth inserted and
either cut, or worked into box pleats (or both, with the collar being pleated). Not seeing any side openings, but the front
edge of the skirt is definitely.
§ Underneath is a pale green
doublet. Sleeves are closely fitted to
the arm and wrist, and slightly longer than arm length. I am thinking that it is a crossover closure
based on how it falls at the neckline, but could be something else as well;
neckline is fairly open, with the collarbone visible.
§ A standing shirt collar is
visible, with a narrow line of ruffling at the top.
§ Full length hose are being
worn, fitted closely, but definitely of cloth rather than knit. Colour is a super pale greenish tan (I
think). A codpiece is /definitely/
visible there.
§ Shoes are low slip ons.
§ I am not sure what I am
seeing around his waist. It looks like a
thickly wrapped, wide sash? It is a
darker green than the jerkin and goes from hip to sternum, with a seam at the
front, and two “levels”.
§ He is clean shaven, and hair
is not visible.

Det fede køkken 1570s. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Det_fede_k%C3%B8kken._%22Voluptas_Carnis%22.jpg
o 1
§ Reddish knit brimmed hat, with
thrums. Much the same shape as a modern
boater hat.
§ Bicep length jerkin of
brown. The material looks thick. Appears to be front opening, and maybe with a
small collar. Skirt is knee length or
so.
§ Doublet has loose sleeves,
and is red.
§ There may be a slight ruffle
to the neck of his shirt.
§ Pale black cloth hosen,
fairly thick.
§ Low shoes, which appear to
be buckled?
§ Short hair, unshaven.
o 2
§ Hat is similar to the above,
but black and probably without thrums
§ Jerkin is blue, and has
bicep length sleeves. I can’t make out
details about the front, since it is shadowed.
Skirt is mid-thigh in length, and front opening. Cloth looks thick
§ Doublet of grey appears to
have sleeves slightly short of the wrist.
§ A definite fine ruffle of
the shirt is visible at the neck.
§ I am not sure what is going
on with the hose. They appear to be
normal hosen, with codpiece visible, but on his right leg it appears to be
rolled down and showing a fine patterned cloth there. Colour is black.
§ Black shoes, with a back to
them.
§ Short hair, clean shaven.
o 3 (Simon Pegg)
§ Dark brown hat similar to
the other two, looks like it has a brushed nap raised.
§ Blue jerkin with short
sleeves. There is a short slit visible
at the top of the one sleeve. It
definitely has a collar, and even lapel.
Buttons are visible, black and flat—lenticular shaped black glass?
§ A second garment appears
pale green underneath and sleeveless. I swear
I am seeing a slight roll collar, and extra poofiness, so it might be waist
length and crossover front?
§ Under that, I think he has a
doublet, of heavy black wool. Sleeves are quite loose.
§ Short hair and scraggly
beard.

§ Mostly covered, but wearing
a butter yellow outer garment. It has a broad collar which has fallen open,
short or no sleeve (sleeves not visible), and comes well past the knees.
§ Underneath, a doublet? of
grey, collar mirroring the outer garment.
Sleeves are loose, and a little on the long side.
§ Hair: Short, curly, and
receding. He has a short beard, which
appears somewhat unkempt.
o 2 (wealthy)
§ Hat: Shallow brimmed, with a
pleated “muffin top”. There is a band,
which may have black feathers in it?
§ Doublet of red wool
(heavy). All that is visible is the
sleeves, which are loose, and long enough to be turned back slightly.
§ He appears to be wearing a
simple, but wide ruff or a piccadill.
§ Outer garment is a shaub,
showing his wealth. Dove grey, and lined
with brown fur. The sleeves have
substantial slits, and are only being half worn.
§ Shoes are simple and brown,
slip ons with a low heel.
§ Hair is short, and well
brushed. Beard is neatly trimmed.
o 3
§ Not much is visible, beyond
a brown cloak, and brown shapeless hat.
§ Doublet sleeves are a dirty
grey.
§ Has a pair of crutches,
simple T shapes.
§ Beard is—oddly, based on the
other clothes—neatly groomed.
o 4 (beggar?)
§ Not wearing much. Hat is moderately brimmed, with the edges
curling up all around. Crown is “bowl”
shaped. I think it is a yellowish wool,
but could be straw.
§ Wearing either a cloak, or
skirted doublet wrapped and tied around his body.
§ No pants!
§ He is receiving a sunny
yellow skirted doublet (high knee length?), with a falling collar from 2.
§ Short, messy hair, long
unkempt beard
o 5 (drinking dude in more
standard clothing
§ Short doublet, of the more standard type in a
slightly bluish grey.
§ A side lacing? jerkin in a
true grey, with vertical lines of trim.
It appears to have a standing collar slightly rolled back.
§ Cape? in black.
§ Full set of modest ruffs
§ Legwear is of the Venetian
type, albeit modest rather that voluminous.
They are red, with a pair of black stripes up the outer leg—there may be
a pocket there. Leg opening is just a
slit up the back of the calf—no extra length in the outseam.
§ Black/grey stockings,
closely fit.
§ Low black shoes.
§ Short hair. Cheeks appear shaven, but there is a neat
beard.
o 5
§ Grey—natural wool?—felt or
felted knit cap. Somewhat shapeless, but
with a narrow brim.
§ Navy blue cloak or extremely
loose fitting jerkin.
§ Doublet is medium brown,
sleeves are loose, but short. Neckline
is rather open.
§ Either a white/grey (could
be white and dirty) shirt exposed above the doublet, or another lighter
doublet. A loose collar is visible. He is also holding a possibly similar
garment, which I am guessing to be a doublet rather than a shirt.
§ Somewhat trimmed medium
length beard. Guessing short hair.
o 6 (kid)
§ Long sleeved green
jacket. Kindof a moss green. Sleeves are short and close fitting, with a
visible shoulder seam, and slit at the wrist.
There may be a small collar. It
closes at the neck, with no visible fastening—probably hook/eyes. Comes to roughly the top of the thigh.
§ Underneath is possibly his
shirt, which is not tucked in (shame on him!).
It appears to be just a touch shorter than the above jacket.
§ Pants are straight legged
trousers, probably around high ankle length to begin with, and now ragged.
§ Fluffy blonde hair.
o 8 (beggar)
§ Brown cloak, lined with
red. It may have a hood?
§ Doublet/jacket sleeve is
loose, but not long, and has a slit. I
am guessing it is natural white wool.
§ Hair is messy, but not
unkempt, and short. Likewise the beard.
o 9 (wealthy)
§ Also wearing a shaube or
rock type garment in dove grey with brown fur lining. I want to say it has underarm slits, by the
way it folds.
§ Garment underneath is almost
a charcoal coloured robe(?), likely with a standing collar. I see a modest ruff, similar to guy 2.
§ His hat is neatly formed, in
a bell shape much like a modern women’s cloche (but with a flatter brim). Black, with shining trim and a headband.
§ Closely fitted red
hose—either they match the colour of his leg garments, or they go all the way
up. Can’t tell the detail.
§ Black mules for shoes.
§ Beard is long and may be
curled?
o 10 (giving out food)
§ Grey sleeveless jerkin,
which may or may not have a collar.
§ Standing ruff like the guy
above—I am starting to wonder whether it is part of a uniform?
§ Doublet sleeves are long and
loose with close cuffs. Colour may be
bluish.
§ Hair is short, and moderate
beard length with trimmed sideburns (does not run into the hairline).
o 11
§ Short cape of the
semi-circular type, buff coloured. There
appears to be some extra fabric at the neck, gathered in folds. The cape or shawl is definitely shorter in
the front than in the back.
§ Dark grey—moleskin
coloured—doublet. Sleeves are closely
fitted, and without extra length (neither are they too short).
§ You can see a touch of white
at his left wrist which is probably the shirt.
§ Hair is quite short. No facial hair.
o 12 (corner dude)
§ Hip length dark brown tabard
or cloak thing. It could be a cloak he
is wearing so his right arm is free.
§ A hat is present, in a dirty
brown, in his hand. It appears to be one
or two steps up from just being a hat blank.
§ Jerkin of dove grey, with a
HOOD. Sleeves appear to be almost just
bell caps. Length is to the knees, with
side slits potentially to the waist.
§ Under that, a greenish grey
doublet with loose sleeves.
§ A loosely sleeved shirt is
under that, peeking out at the wrist.
§ Pants are closely fitted but
relaxed, and a rather ugly yellow brown.
§ Over those are some kind of
dirty white stockings. They have
interesting drape patterns on them, which almost could be cross gartering, or
like he is wearing the Russian portyanki (link to example). The top is rolled down.
§ Shoes are black mules.
§ He has a fascinating lidded
wicker basket, which I think is attached to his belt.
o 13
§ Grey tabard or bell sleeved
jerkin with a collar.
§ Quite modest ruff.
§ Doublet sleeves are dark
green, and closely fitted
§ Close fitting hose of black?
§ Shoes are not
distinguishable.
§ Short beard without
sideburns, short hair
o 14 (background guy)
§ Looks like an extremely
short, sleeveless jerkin, possibly with shoulder wings. Greyish
§ Short skirted doublet
underneath, of a yellowish tint.
§ Something is going on at his
wrist, but I cannot tell if is a ruff or not.
§ Short breeches in dark
brownish yellow.
§ Short hair.

o 1 (chest hauler)
§ Somewhat bright orange
doublet. Waist length, and appears to be
front opening. Sleeves are wrist length
and appear to be slightly loose.
§ Pants are a darker
orange. It almost looks like Venetians
to above the knee, and tight fitting cannons to the upper calf. A modest codpiece is visible.
§ He may have a black cape on,
but it is hard to tell.
§ Stockings are probably knit,
and grey.
§ Black shoes.
§ Short beard
o 2 (Muleteer
§ Somewhat shapeless hat,
probably blocked.
§ Multiple upper body layers;
§ Black vest being worn; no
sleeves, and waist length. This could be
shadow, as well.
§ Brown jerkin, high thigh
length, with sleeves to just above the elbows.
Skirt is not particularly full.
§ Red doublet, with only the
sleeves visible. Sleeves are close
fitting.
§ I suspect he is wearing
“gauntlet” gloves.

straight legged, possibly gathered at the top, and slightly high water. The fabric is quite drapey.
§ Probably clean shaven, and
short haired.
o 3 (creepy dude with hat.
§ Round topped, blocked
hat. Moderate brim.
§ Jerkin/doublet is mouse
grey, and loosely fitted. That could be
a cape, actually.

see horizontal lines. They are closely
fitted, and that is all I can say.
§ Shoes appear to be mules.
§ Short, unkempt, and pointed
beard.
o 4

§ Grey short sleeved
jerkin. Bare arms otherwise. I can’t interpret the folds

Christ
cleansing the Temple, date unknown. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Pieter_Aertsen_Christ_cleansing_the_Temple.png
o 1 (kneeling with eggs)
§ Red thrummed hat.
§ Grey doublet, with two part
poofed sleeves (upper poof and bicep down close fitting). It is only waist length, and may have a
slight collar which has fallen. It may
be side opening; there is a up curved hem to the visible side. I cannot tell how it opens.
§ A shirt is visible beneath
the doublet, and at the elbow where there is a hole in the doublet.
§ Hosen are red; they appear
to have been joined hosen (with codpiece clearly visible), but wore out to the
point where they are shorts.
§ Hair is short, as is his
beard.
o 2 (Over by archway). Might
be symbolic.
§ GREEN thrum hat.
§ Wearing a loose overgarment
o 3 (basket of chickens on
head)
§ Black jerkin with long skirts. Fit is close, sleeves are wrist length and
close. I almost appears there are back
pleats, and the front skirts are tucked up to the small of the back out of the
way. Honestly, it looks a lot like a
tailcoat.
§ Something is covering his
thighs. Unknown, but appears to be
skirts of another garment
§ Below that, I think his
shirt is showing. So he is not wearing
any kind of pants. Shirt collar also
shows at the neck, tall and drooping.
o 4 (Two basket)
§ Long skirted red outer
garment, coming to about knee length.
Sleeves are medium, and wrist length.
§ Close fitting, possibly
black, hosen.
§ Short hair, pointed beard.
o 5 (Slipping dude)
§ Grey pillbox type hat.
§ Grey outer garment, no
visible opening, long and fairly close sleeves.
§ Slight ruffles at the
wrists.
§ Red cloth hosen to the knee
at least.
§ Low slip on shoes.
o 6 (tackler?)
§ Red/yellow outer
garment. Sleeves of moderate fit, and a
floppy collar. Upper thigh in length at
least.
§ I swear that is a falling
band visible at his neck.
