Artist: Pieter Cornelisz van Slingelandt
Title: Woman Making Lace with Two Children
Date: 1665-1670
Nationality: Dutch
Pillow: domed, flat back, sloping towards lacemaker, on lacemaker's lap.
Bobbins: with bulbs on end, on pillow, reasonable number
Comments: There is a good spread of bobbins, so they have started to bunch up together. I can't see if the pillow is on a base - I assume so from it's position.
Pieter Cornelisz van Slingelandt painted more than one lacemaker.
