The Dissus Sale of 1696

No. 12 "A young lady doing needlework, by the same" 28-0
The Lacemaker by Johannes Vermeer
The Lacemaker
Johannes Vermeer

The description fits The Lacemaker in the Louvre.  Of those surely identifiable paintings by Vermeer described in the Dissius catalogue sale, The Lacemaker fetched a relatively high price respects to its size. Only the Woman Holding a Balance and The Milkmaid were bought for a higher relative prices.
