Oh my goodness! Chopines!

Another amazing find from the Walters Art Museum in Baltimore




Italian. Second half of the 16th century.

I love the careful way her skirt is raised to show off her shoe!

See it in the museum catalog at http://art.thewalters.org/detail/8168/portrait-of-a-woman-as-cleopatra/
