Detail of St. Anne Instructing the Virgin

St. Anne Instructing the Virgin (folio 13, right) from the Prayer Book of Anne of Bretagne, by Jean Poyet, c. 1500.

I am ignoring the two sainted figures in these images. I find the gown style of the young lady on the far left rather interesting. Similar styles with the shorter gown is noted as being a common style in England by Dr. Malcolm-Davies.
