On the Fashion Sense of Sarah, Isaac's mother
I love this very odd image of
Sarah, Abraham's wife and Isaac's mother
,
by
the Flemish engraver Hans Collaert
(1545–1628). This image is mentioned in passing in
my novel
The Bride Stripped Bare By Her Bachelors, Even
, which revolves in part around the story of Abraham and Isaac. I just cannot figure out what she is wearing, but I think it is a fashion
faux pas
. Call me a
moderne
, but I'd cover that belly, pull up the front of the dress, and not wear squares on my breasts.
