THE SILK SPINNING MILL Oil on canvas. 74 x 105 cm. In ebonized, partially bronzed frame. In a portico whose flight ends in the sunlit street of a city, several spinners are busy between the columns producing silk yarn under the influence of heat generated by fire: In warm water, the silk cocoon dissolves and the spinner is now able to develop about 1000 meters of silk as soon as she has found an end. The reel mill was invented to help; such professional manufactories existed in Valencia, Genoa and Lyon. (1401202) (13) Italian School, 17th century SILK SPINNING MILL Oil on canvas. 74 x 105 cm.
