Cloth and its foldings

From time to time I mention, bang on even, about painters who are fascinated by cloth and its foldings.

So I was pleased to find today that Leonardo's fascination from southern Europe, noticed at reference 1, was complemented by Dürer's contemporary fascination from northern Europe.

So, 'Six Studies of Pillows', 1493. A picture which turned up in Bostridge's recent book about the 'Winterreise' - for reasons which I have yet to read about.
