The Lacemaker

Her bobbins and lace
are clearly seen on the pillow.

Even the threads are visible.

The Lacemaker

Spare bobbins are everywhere -
in the chest and on the floor.

Her scissors are also on the floor
and other tools are scattered around.

The Lacemaker

Threads at this time
were usually in skeins
hence the style of her winder.

Note that she is left handed.

The Lacemaker

Finished work is draped over the chest.

On the far side
an opened drawer reveals more
bobbins and spools of thread.

The attention to detail extends to the realistic flagstones on the floor.
