The Lacemaker is a painting by the Dutch artist Johannes Vermeer (1632–1675) completed around 1669–1670 and held in the Louvre Paris. The work shows a young woman dressed in a yellow shawl holding up a pair of bobbins in her left hand as she carefully places a pin in the pillow on which she is making her bobbin lace. At 24.5 cm x 21 cm (9.6 in x 8.3 in) the work is the smallest of Vermeer’s paintings but in many ways one of his most abstract and unusual.
