Artist: Vasili Andreevich Tropinin
Title: Lace Making Beauty
Date: 1823
Nationality: Russian
Pillow: domed, flat back, on base, on table.
Bobbins: oval bulbs, a reasonable number
Comments: The pillow is tilted at quite an angle. I get the feeling that the lacemaker is well aware of her 'beauty' and more interested in the artist than making lace!
