Fascinating article and thank you Jeri for asking Devon to post it on arachne. I've read the latest post about many thinking the collar to be that of needelace and not bobbin lace but can only get the NYT article on my laptop and not my iPad, where I was hoping to enlarge the portrait enabling me to pass an opinion as to whether I think it is needlelace or not, but unfortunately neither mine or my husband's iPad will allow! I shall be watching with interest the discussions on Lace News.
Catherine Barley UK Catherine Barley Needlelace www.catherinebarley.com ----Original message-- Subject : [lace] A Rembrandt discovered due to the lace This article appeared in the New York Times magazine section this week. I posted it on the International Organization of Lace's facebook page where it has been very popular. Jeri Ames has encouraged me to post it on arachne as well. Here is the link: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/02/27/magazine/rembrandt-jan-six.html There are several interesting things in this article. One is that the dealer Jan Six XI was immediately attracted to the lace on the painting which is a collar style that he claims was only in fashion between 1633-1635. - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.
