Rigsråd Eske Brock and his wife Christence Wiffert  painted 1612

It is clearly seen that the angle of the skirt towards the bodice is almost 90 degrees, Constance Wiffert has either a wheel farthingale or a french farthingale round her hips.

This epitafium picture from Kågerød Church in Skåne, looks very similar in style like Christence Wifferts portrait. This is pinted 1614.
