The Ashmolean Museum had been working on getting pictures of their holdings online and recently got about 25% finished. I was browsing and found this portrait of a young man with a collar edged in bobbin lace. It is dated late 16th century in the style of Scipione Pulzone. (Looks more 17th century.) Accession no. WA1892.2 https://collections.ashmolean.org/object/373404

Patterns from Isabella Catanea Parasole’s.”Fiore D’Ogni Virtu Per le Nobili Et Honeste Matrone” https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/355096
