An interesting site, Rob. It confirms our dating of the central figures' fashion once again.
I agree that our Virgo might well be a man. In this period, garments like the houppelande were worn by men and women alike. One consistent difference I've noticed is that when the houppelande is belted, women wear the belt higher, almost at the breasts. Men wear the belt lower, sometimes very low. This is far from clear in the VM Virgo.
