About this work
Two scenes on an album sheet. On the left, the fictional portrait of a starcher named Willemijn. She is starching a lace collar laid out on a round plateau. On the right, a chambermaid named Anneke holding a lace collar in her hands. In the background, a loving couple at a set table. Next to them, a servant and a cat. Below, two quatrains in Dutch. The print is part of an album.
