Artist: French school
Date: 1790-1810
Nationality: French
Pillow: domed, flat back, sloping towards lacemaker, on lacemaker's lap.
Bobbins: can't see, but they look small
Comments: The pillow has some kind of projection at the back - could it be a roller? Unfortunately, the painting doesn't distinguish the bobbins very well.
