About this work

Pricking for a part of a collar of Venetian needle lace. The needle lace pattern is drawn with ink on blue paper and along the pattern lines holes are subsequently pricked. Through this 'pricking' and the double layer of cotton a tracing thread is sewn. When the needle lace stitches are made over and between the tracing threads the pricking and the cotton ground can be cut loose and removed. Then you only have needle lace left, in this case a part of the collar which can then be processed with the other parts and the edge to collar. The design of the collar was made by a person from Belgium who was interned in the First World War in camp 'Elisabeth-dorp' in Amersfoort. Mrs. van Nierop started making the collar and donated the unfinished parts to the Rijksmuseum as study material.
