This linen cloth with bobbin lace trim was made by L.P.J. de Jager Meezenbroek-van Beverwijk, who was a pattern designer. Right away, the rhythm of the lace grabs my attention. There's something about the way the little bell shapes are spaced out, almost like musical notes on a staff. If you look closely, you can see the texture of the linen and the delicate, almost fragile quality of the lace. The way the light filters through the openings creates a play of shadows that gives the cloth a sense of depth and movement. The repeated bell motif around the edge feels really playful and kind of bold. It reminds me of a Sol LeWitt print, in a way, but softer. De Jager Meezenbroek-van Beverwijk's cloth isn't just decorative, it's also a record of her process. It tells a story of time and labor, of the artist's hand moving carefully and deliberately to create something beautiful and functional. Like, who knew a simple doily could be so radical?
