I was reading the book "Point and Pillow Lace" by Mary Sharp (printed in 1905)
and she mentions a painting by Quintin Matsys (1466-1529) of a girl with a
lace pillow as proof that bobbin lace existed in Belgium as early as the end
of the 15th c.  I searched the internet and could not find this picture.  Have
any of you seen it?
