A short note from The Connoisseur describing a large bobbin-made lace panel given to the Musée du Cinquantenaire in Brussels. The piece measures about 1¾ by 1½ yards and is made up of 120 pictorial squares showing biblical, saintly and legendary Netherlandish scenes. It bears the arms and initials of Archduke Albert and Isabella of Spain and is thought to date from their rule of the Netherlands (1598-1621). The note also describes the figured, scalloped border. A photograph of the whole panel is included.
