The process of
stringing
beads involved
gathering the beads onto wires from a small wooden tray with a bowel
type
trough placed in their lap. These two seated women appear to be sharing
one of these wooden trays, as another woman looks on.
The
painting
was made in the same Palazzo corridor as A Venetian Interior.
For
whatever reason, the paintings on the walls are absent from this
rendition.
