Where or where has that bookmark gone?

stitchwhichOnce, I had a website bookmarked. It had a lovely painting (two paintings, I think) of a greek lady, well, a woman who ruled a few greek islands anyway, who lived in the 16th century. And she was featured in a lovely gown that looked like the bastard child of a Ropa and a turkish lady's coat. And it was... comfy looking. Decandent.
So I thought, "what a lovely comfortable gown to introduce to the ladies of my barony for our upcoming Venetian Ball event, since there's no time frame for the event, just that it's in Venice (a meeting place of East and West)... how easy! how comfortable! How flattering! No stays!" and I clicked onto my Internet Explorer and scrolled down my bookmarks. Horrors! No bookmark met my eye. Feeling a little concerned, I went to Oonagh's website since she was the person who introduced the two paintings to the rest of us.
Her website no longer exists.
I don't know the artist or the name of the sitter for the portraits. I JUST announced at Moot that we'd be having a workshop for the gowns in the next few weeks. I can see the style clearly in my mind's eye but everyone else wants to see the paintings. I am doomed. A research failure. It's all that late-period stuff. *shudder* I should never cross the line past 1100.
