Men on far left and right (man playing Viol) are wearing brightly patterned clothing. Noted for fabrics and necklines.

1400 - ‘Maestro dell’Osservanza’, detail of a page

Note this detail of a young man, presumably a page, in a sumptious brocade robe and close-fitting undersleeves. Note that the shorter sleeves of the over-robe look as though they might be rolled up, as the pattern appears to be the obverse of the brocade of the overobe.

1400 - ‘Maestro dell’Osservanza’, Natività della Vergine - detail of another youth

Note that this young boy also has a over-cote with wide cuffs (rolled up? Other detail looks as if what we are seeing is the reverse of the brocade) and close-fitting under-sleeves.
