Work commented by Elena Cenalmor, Art Historian, Museo Nacional del Prado Unknown authorship “Quilt and hangings for a state bed”, c. 1860-90. 

Embroidery was the most frequent field of creative development for women during the Ancien Régime, and remained so throughout the nineteenth century. A silent and anonymous work of many women on handicrafts that achieved scant recognition.
