Matsukaze Workshops: Peasant Fashion in the Low Countries: Part Two. Pieter Bruegel the Elder

Pieter Bruegel the Elder. One of the first artists who come to mind when you think of this genre of painting, and the one this project was named for. He was born between 1525 and 1530 near Breda and died in 1569, after living primarily in Antwerp then Brussels. His early work is mostly in engraving and drawings, with the majority of his well known paintings came after 1555.

Parable of the Sower. 1557. https://www.wikiart.org/en/pieter-bruegel-the-elder/parable-of-the-sower-1557

Only guy

Hat is black and mostly shapeless, although there does appear to be some kind of brim.
Outer garment is grey and only hip length. Sleeves are rather poofy, with a separate closer fitting pieces at the forearm. In the left (as worn) sleeve, you can see a slit. The garment may be lined in red, and may have a crossover front.
Doublet, not really visible, except as more grey.
Hosen are of the knee length breeches style in a lighter shade of grey. No details are visible as to whether there is a codpiece or not.
Netherstocks are a grey inbetween the breeches and jerkin in colour. You can see slight bagging at the ankle.
Shoes are low, and slip on, but do enclose the foot completely. Leather is black.
He is clean shaven, and short haired...and appears to be black. There may be sideburns going on, but I am not sure.

The 12 Allegories. 1558. Note, the background on this painting is red. So all the colours will be off. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Zw%C3%B6lf_Sprichw%C3%B6rter_(Bruegel).jpg.

Unknown hat, but there appears to be a long peasant feather in his hair.
Upper garment has rather loose sleeves, coming to a narrow cuff. No details visible, but I doubt it is longer than hip length.
Long plain white apron tied about the waist.
I suspect his hosen are knee length, but can't tell for sure.
Black shoes, ankle high.
Clean shaven.

He appears to be wearing a capuchon type hat in black. Loose and drapey.
Garments appear to be odd...out of date, perhaps. Outermost garment appears to be a long robe, possibly sleeveless, and with a split front. The skirt do not appear particularly full, but there is some blousing over a belt. Sleeves are a different colour, but that could be shading.
Under that, at the front slit, something white is visible. This could be either another garment, or a long shirt; there is no way to tell.
He is holding what appears to be another robe like garment, in black.
I think he has a short beard.

3 (sitting)

Low, fairly shapeless hat in black. It appears to have some kind of brim, but not much of one.
Jerkin in something lighter than the black. The front is open, but there is a fastening at the top. Sleeves are long, and may be two part, with tight lowers and poofy uppers.
Under that, I believe the shirt is visible, which is maybe mid-thigh in length, and slit to the waist at the sides.
Legs are bare, except for black stockings which are rolled down to below the knee.
I suspect black shoes.

No hat
Brown Upper garment has long loose sleeves, closer at the wrist. It may be nearly knee length, or that could be something else I see. I suspect front opening.
I think he is wearing a white apron, which is long enough to cover the knee.
Red? netherstocks covering his lower legs
Black shoes, ankle high.
Clean shaven, short hair.

Hat is black and probably knit. It appears to have several points.
Long dark robe. At least lower-calf length, if not ankle. Sleeves are long and loose, but fitted to the wrist. I see what appears to be a shawl collar, and it is front opening.
A black garment is visible underneath that, with a hint of white at the throat (just a spot).
Black shoes.
He is also wearing an apron, which is being used to hold the pig? feed.

6 is a soldier and off topic.
7

Shapeless black hat or hood.
Coat is a little longer than knee length, and a lighter shade than the headwear. Sleeves are loose, tapering to the wrist. The garment is front opening, at least. I also see some odd pleats or something going on as a hint in the back.

Low black shoes.

Netherlandish Proverbs, 1559. As it is a somewhat allegorical piece, portions are suspect. Most of the clothing should be fine.

1, Fool? There is another fool over by dude 15, who is wearing the donkey eared hood.

Hat is a multicoloured cone with a white bobble on top. May be a real piece, or could be symbolic.
Outer garment is a dark, orangy red. Sleeves are loosely fitted and a bit longer than the wrist; no collar is visible. I would guess at mid-thigh length, but as it is rucked up, I cannot tell.
Under that is a moss green garment, which appears to be fairly heavy, and shorter.

Cannot tell what colour the hosen are; visible is a dirty sheep white, but that could be a lining.

Black "scholars" cap; the type with the square top. Could be knit, or could be seamed. The cross on top is obvious, and the flap just barely covers the ears.
Coat is red and bulky. No obvious opening, and sleeves are quite loose. The cuffs are turned back to show a lightish blue lining. No shoulder seam is visible.
An undergarment is visible at his right wrist, but it is skin-tight and black...can't extrapolate anything else.

Plougher; short black hair. He is at 3/4 profile, angled so you cannot see his front.

The Triumph of Death, 1562. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Triumph_of_Death). While allegorical, much of the clothing of the dead and dying is portrayed normally. Towards the right side, the fashion gets odd, reminding me of fashion over 100 years earlier. Additional items of interest; a distaff, a pair of fashionable soldiers in Landsknect fashion, a jousting lance, and a folding backgammon set (I believe). There is also a pilgrim which shows his accoutrements fairly well.

1 (More beer! I really like this outfit.

Black hat with a corner at the front, and back edge turned up. You could use the Sally Pointer Scholar cap pattern, and modify it to only have one corner.

Shirt is untucked?

Interestingly, both pipers have what seems to be a spare set of points tied to the longest pipe on their instruments.

4 (Red Shepherd

Red close fitted doublet
Red hose. Both garments matching is unusual, other than black.

Grey coat with quite full sleeves gathered into a wide cuff, and double breasted. Three buttons hinted at at the shoulder.

7 (Dancer

Black knit hat with a brim and flat top
Blue Jerkin with full and heavily pleated skirts to mid calf. Double Breasted
White doublet
Brown hosen. There is something unusual going on with the left foot, where it looks like the hosen are over the shoes, like spats; this may be a pair of netherstocks, as I see a seam mid thigh. He has a white garter on the visible leg.

8 (Dancer 2

Black hat with a spoon stuck in.
Black coat, only hip length, with a pieced and cut on skirt. Sleeves are gathered into a forearm length cuff, but aren't particularly large. You can see there is a slight drop shoulder.

The Land of Cockaigne, 1567. While Allegorical as a morality piece, the clothing isn't unusual. Just ignore the soft boiled egg with legs...

Sleeper on Flail

White shirt, only to the hips.

Grey coat of knee length with moderately narrow sleeves. Fastened only at the to, and with no visible gathers, although it may have pinch pleats at the back.
Dark Brown hosen.

Adoration of the Kings in the Snow, 1567. While this is a fully religious and stylized painting with consequently funky clothing, there is a pair of more normally dressed guys in the back. Because the painting is so clear, you can catch a couple of details you wouldn't otherwise.

1 (Crossbowman. Probably not a Flemish peasant, based on the existence of facial hair

Brown cap with the brim turned up. He has a spare crossbow-bolt stuck in it.
Blue tightly fitted hood coming to points in front and presumably back. It is close about the neck and covers the chin. You can see that there is a knot or self button at the front tip, which is tucked into his belt. I wantses one.
Russet red outer coat. Both top and bottom of the sleeves are well gathered, and the skirts are pleated all the way around. I estimate it is calf length.
Mittens! Possibly fur.
The (narrow black) belt clearly shows a double lobed buckle, and has little tongue left over. He appears to be wearing two belts, with one slung low and holding a sword(?).
Brown or worn black tall boots?

2 (Old guy observing

Straw or brown hat.
Mouse grey coat, with quite moderate sleeves. No features such as pleats are visible. There appears to be a slight drop shoulder. Front fastening appears to have been done by overlapping the fronts slightly and fastening with a plain pin at neckline and sternum.
Narrow black belt with a simple Annular type buckle. The tongue is tucked behind, and not knotted or left to dangle.

The Sermon of Saint John the Baptist, 1566. As another biblical piece, the vast majority of the figures are not wearing garments of use to this research, even if most are not fantastical as in yesterday's painting. As such researchers of other cultures may find things of interest, and I will try to note a few. Sadly, the best figures for this study are all climbing trees in the background and not the most detailed.

Red cap.
White doublet with moderate sleeves.
Dark coloured (Greyish blue, perhaps) loose trousers, not hosen.

Grey cap
White doublet, or perhaps just his shirt, belted.
Red full hosen.

4 (Slightly wealthier than norm, but older and could be a wealthy farmer?

Black cap with rear brim turned down and slouchy front
Charcoal Long coat with full sleeves, lined in what may be fur.
Lovely trapezoidal purse with two straps.

Short black thrum cap
Brown coat, simple and with a short vent in back. It does, however, appear to have a hood.
Black belt with knife to the left.

The Beggars, 1568

Black waistcoat, fastened at the neckline and I believe chest with points.
Yellow doublet, narrow but not tightly sleeved.
Blue full hosen.

Greyish lower cap with slight brim. It appears to be thrummed or otherwise fuzzy.
Black waistcoat
Grey doublet
Red short hose
Lower legs covered by grey netherstocks
He has a brown leather purse on the hip, with points hanging off of it.

3 (Morris Dancer

Black coif tied under the chin

Oddly, he is wearing a set of Morris dancer's bells on his claves.
Black shoes.

4 (The Bishop

Light grey hip length doublet.
Green knee length hosen
White or buff netherstocks.
Additionally, he appears to have either a costrel or more likely, his bowl/plate hanging from a shoulder strap.

Closeup of Lower Left, where all the people are.

The Magpie on the Gallows, 1568

Black bucket type hat.
White Coat with moderate sleeves, of the pleat backed variety. This kind is rather cool ,and can be found in Marion McNealy's Drie Schnittbucher
Full black hose.
There is a black lump I am thinking is a purse resting on his right thigh, and behind it is a bollock dagger.

Black hat. It is relatively shallow and with a narrow brim
Black doublet, loosely fitted and with slightly full sleeves. There is something odd going with the neckline; it almost appears rolled and slashed, but you have to zoom waaay in.
Full red hose.
Messer

3 (Dancer

Black flat hat with narrow flat brim
Brown doublet
Full white hose, with a red garter on right leg and red points.
Black purse.

5 (Piper

Brown waistcoat
Blue doublet with quite full sleeves
Brown hose matching waistcoat.

Red hat of unknown variety
Red doublet. The shirt is peeking out at the front, below the waist.

7 (way in the background

Black hat
Grey coat with heavily pleated cut on skirt, and full sleeves.

Parable of the Blind, 1568. Working left to right, you have 5 figures of blind men in relatively fine clothing, which is coded as being that of pilgrims or travelers.

Grey broad brim hat with the front turned up and secured by a cord.
Under that is a blue coif.
White cassock is being worn. There is a narrow standing collar, very full but unpleated body--likely cut as a portion of a circle/ Sleeves are quite moderate. Secured at the neck with a point.
Grey doublet.
Brown full hosen.
He has a satchel of some kind, although it only shows as a lump and a strap at the chest.

Green low knitted hat, slightly fuzzy, with a brim
Black cloak, with narrow collar. Fastened with a single point at the neck
Red coat, which appears to be thigh length and fairly close fitted. The front opening does not appear to open all the way, and I am uncertain of the fastening. It also has a small standing collar.
White full hose.
For accessories he has a cross/rosary, what appears to be a bowl and small funnel hang from a belt, and a wicker something on his left side.

3. He has many layers, and I will go from outside in.

Grey cap with white edging. The hat has a wide brim in the front, and runs up in the back.
White coif under.
Light grey cloak of similar type to the last.
Black waistcoat, barely waist length. The armscyes are huge, and it gaps heavily at the front. It is only fastened at neck and possibly waist with points. Lined with a reddish brown?
Green jerkin, thigh length, and with narrower armscyes than the waistcoat. It also is fastened only at the waist and neck, if that. I feel it's possible that it's held in place by the belt and the point of the waistcoat.
White "tunic" underneath. Sleeves are moderate, it has a front slit but no apparent front opening (although it could be a double breasted one). Comes to just above the knee.
Knee length black hose, possibly without codpiece.
Red stockings worn to the knee and rolled down.
His walking stick appears to have a nail in the end for traction.
He wears a belt and a baldric, both narrow, black, and with an annualar type buckle, although that of the baldric does appear slightly more D shaped.
Black frame purse. You can see stitching whipping the bag to the frame.
Unknown rectangular hard case?

Black coif
Light Grey broad brim felt cap (held in hand)
White Cloak with Dark brown/grey secondary cape. Fastened at the neckline with a single point.
Black or dark blue (?) coat, thigh length. It appears quite full, as though made for someone larger than him. Lined with goose turd green, and fastened at the neck with a point.
Grey doublet underneath.
White full hosen.
Interestingly, he is wearing shin guards strapped on, which I would assume are heavy leather, but could easily be wood, with the bark on at that.
For accessories, you can clearly see his beggin bowl at waist, a rosary, and a small knife with a metal sheath tip--an unusual detail.

Black knit bucket hat
White coif
Light blue grey, sleeveless, outer garment which is rather rough in cut. The armscye is barely shaped at all. Mid thigh in length and with a slight slit at the back. You can see eyelets at the neckline for closure.
Greyish (more purple than above) coat. Sleeves are surprisingly short and close fit. Slightly longer than the outer layer.
Hints of a dark grey doublet underneath, peeking out at the wrist
White full hose.

Broad brim light brown hat.
Light brown cloak, pointed at the neck.
Short sleeved outer garment in red. Details are not great, but it appears to be relatively loose fitted and with sleeves about a handspan long.
Golden yellow doublet with fairly full sleeves.
He appears to be wearing three different leg coverings; a grey pair of shorts; a blue/brown something covering from that hem to below the knee, where it is rolled up. And white stockings, rolled down slightly. The latter two may be pinned at the sides of the knee.

The Misanthrope, 1568. There isn't a lot which is helpful in this painting, as it only contains two--perhaps three (counting the tiny shepherd in the back)--figures, and one is in atypical clothing.

1 (The Misanthrope

Blue/black liripipe hood. I have never seen one in this century before.
Ground length black cloak.
Brown leather purse. The purse appears to be on a rather long and insecure cord. It is a drawstring style, with several tendril coming off the sides which I cannot interpret.

2 (The Thief

Grey upper body garment, no extra fabric nor signs of a front opening.
Grey full hosen, or the remains thereof.
His knife is relatively broad bladed, but no other details are visible.

3 (Shepherd in the background

Blue grey cap.
Glue grey Doublet, waist length, with moderate sleeves.
Matching full hosen.
His shepherds crook at this time is shaped more like a hockey stick than what we would consider a crook. It looks quite similar to those being used by the people actually playing hockey in The Winter Landscape.

The Peasant and the Nest Robber, 1568

The Peasant

Tan hat with a small upturn at the front.
Brown jacket, hip length and loosely fitted. There may be hints of a waist seam. The sleeves are full, and gathered at the shoulder. For once, it is actually closed properly at the front, and neatly pointed. The points are white and tied with the standard single loop.
Grey full hosen. This is detailed enough that you can see that the "sculptural" portion of the codpiece consists of four sections with three seams; two sides and two shaped middle pieces. The points holding the codpiece are thinner than those on the doublet (which are flat) and appear to be black.
On his belt (narrow, black, with ridges along the edge, and slung low) is a small cow horn sealed at the top (Unknown purpose. Drinking horn suggested, but it doesn't look like one to me), and a lovely little knife, which appears to have a slab hilt construction. It appears to be hanging from a brass ring on the belt.
I cannot tell what the sticklike object in his hand is.

Nest Robber.

Cloche type hat in black (which fell off)
Blue full sleeved doublet. Waist length and fitted to the body, but with sleeves fully gathered. The gathering is behind the shoulder, which would allow more movement.
Red full hosen, unpointed for ease.

The Drunkard Pushed into the Pigsty, 1568.

1; The Drunkard. Oddly, he seems to have a rope tied around his ankle.

Closer fitting off white doublet, with no extra fullness to the sleeves.
Off White full hosen.
Kidney type purse on a narrow belt. The purse appears to heave a heart engraved on the flap.

Green cloche type hat.
Green doublet with moderate sleeves.

3; Pusher

Sheeps black cloche style hat.
Brown Long outer garment. I think... It appears his leg is stick through the skirts, which you can see around it. Maybe knee length or so. Sleeves are fairly full, with extra length.
Brown full hosen.
