She was always THE woman. Looking right at you from 1590: Infanta Catalina Micaela (almost surely), painted by Sofonisba Anguissola (probably). Surely one of the greatest renaissance portraits.

Early modernists! I'm reading abt the 1662 Russian embassy to London where Pepys records gifts of 'furs, hawks, carpets, cloths of tissue, and sea-horse teeth'. I'm intrigued by the seahorse teeth bc...seahorse don't have teeth, right? Are these other parts of the seahorse's body or something else?🪸
