 | Venetian Bead Stringers 1880 or 1882 Albright-Knox Art Gallery Buffalo, NY | 
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
