Holly i must `confess` , that i bought the book
"Velazquez" BY Santiago Alcolea, Ediciones Poligrafa, 1998 [2nd ed]. only
because on the Envelope paper cover there is a part of THIS same picture.
{ i collect pictures of women making craft !!]. plate 76
shows the whole drawing while plate 77 shows only the right side women
rolling the threads.
The name of the Drawing is
THE FABLE OF ARCHANE [The Spinners] Around 1645-1648.
Oil on Canvas 169 x 250 cm.
Prado Museum, Madrid.
It seems to me that the people who made this puzzle, have changed the name
due to lack of knowledge .....
You wouldn`t believe it, but here i often hear and read [ even in a
Museum`s catalog lately !!!!!] that Rugs are SPUN ,,,,, so why not call
spinners weavers ,,,,,
