Dear Devon,
this is a story being in the world but difficult to find out the truth. Also
the claim that in the museum in Frankfurt a/Main a lace pillow would be on
display.Visiting this museum some years ago I was eager to see this but there
wasn't one. Than I asked the people working there
Dear Ilske,
These things are very hard to track down, as your experience with the
Goethe museum indicates. I don't know that there would even be any point to
asking the Rembrandt house in Amsterdam. I was wondering if perhaps some lace
maker, reading widely with a lace intensive focus
This topic came up on Arachne a few years ago because of a painting of
Mozart's mother holding a strip of lace

Nowhere does it say that she was a lacemaker though.
