I was astonished to come across this self-portrait of the artist Romaine Brooks at the Brooklyn Museum of Art’s fantastic exhibit Hide/Seek: Difference and Desire in American Portraiture.
I don’t know what the intentions were of the costume department of Sherlock in sewing red thread around the button hole, but as moonblossom and I were discussing, there is certainly a strong resemblance to Germaine Brooks’ portrait. The red buttonhole, the popped collar, the leather gloves….
I especially love the fact that Romaine Brooks was a queer artist who depicted women in gender-bending ways. A lovely visual inspiration for Benedict Cumberbatch’s Sherlock.
