Gawd, I had a thread or two devoted to stuff here on the Archive... give me a bit to do a megasearch. (Some of the others are NOT online, and had to be dug up at the Courteau Institute out in London).

Look at the 2/3 guys on the right.
Notice that the depicted drape is /utterly/ inappropriate for cloth (which is draped correctly in other parts of the same painting).

The guys in the pink, yellow and blue? I think I see what you mean. The artist give the impression that the tunics are "heavy". Or the guy on the far right in pale yellow with the very smooth cote?
