This portrait is interesting for how it was modified later in its life, with an extra board added so the second figure could be painted on what is otherwise a nice portrait of a lady in a balzo hat and her dog. Sold at auction by Sotheby’s in 2017. It needs restoration, but the embroidery on her smock is lovely. https://www.sothebys.com/en/auctions/ecatalogue/2017/old-masters-evening-sale-l17033/lot.25.html?locale=en

Pattern from Lotz 2, _Ein new Modelbuch_, published by Johann Sch?nsperger in 1524. https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/354660
