A random observation: most of the time that the points (lacing between<br />

hose and doublet) are visible the individual is engaged in some strenuous<br />

activity (like beheading someone). In the vast majority of these cases when<br />

we can see the center back point, it is undone. This makes sense as releasing<br />

the center back point makes it much easier to bend over.<br />

Another thing to point out, the points do not look to be tied with bow ties.<br />

See http://www.florentine-persona.com/tying_bows.html for how to tie<br />

them.<br />
