"Saint Catherine" silk toiletry bag

Silk. 20 x 11 cm. Manufactured by Jim Thompson Silk Company.

The painter Fernando Yáñez de la Almedina may have trained in Italy, which is reflected in splendid works such as his Saint Catherine (ca. 1510), one of the finest paintings of the Spanish Renaissance. However, despite the Italianate influence, local accents can be seen in details such as the Moorish fabric of the tunic, decorated with large Arabic letters, characters that inspire the print on this delicate vanity case made of silk by the prestigious Jim Thompson Silk Company.
