weave draft of El Greco’s Madonna and Child with Saint Martina and Saint Agnes 1597 -99
handwoven reconstruction in progress
Another intersting aspect is that the weave draft is the same as for the support canvas of El Greco’s The Burial of the Count of Orgaz and Alonso Sánchez Coello’s Infanta Isabel and Magdalena Ruiz but the above mentioned ‘mistake’ does not appear in these canvases.
