"De lakenfabricage: een weefgetouw en enkele losse onderdelen" (The cloth manufacture: a loom and some loose parts), a detailed drawing by Willem van Mieris, depicts a traditional loom used in the clothmaking industry. The precise, almost scientific rendering of the machine showcases the artist's keen eye for detail. This drawing is a testament to the Dutch Golden Age's fascination with the workings of the world around them and the appreciation for craftsmanship. The Rijksmuseum houses this piece, offering insight into the history of textile production. The drawing’s meticulous details and focus on a specific tool are typical of Dutch "kunstkamera" drawings, which were often collected by wealthy individuals as a means of displaying their knowledge and appreciation of the world.
