The composite that you click on to select which painting you want to view is 215K - will take a while to load. After that, you can select whether you want the picture small, medium, or large. To skip the big graphic, http://www.ccsf.caltech.edu/~roy/vermeer/zelhh.gif will take you directly to a small picture of the Lacemaker; http://www.ccsf.caltech.edu/~roy/vermeer/zelh.jpg will give you the medium size, and http://www.ccsf.caltech.edu/~roy/vermeer/zel.jpg will give you the large one. Debbie Mouzon found a site selling the print: http://www.powernet.co.uk/artofeurope/prints.htm (or use http://www.powernet.co.uk/artofeurope/noframes.htm if you do not have a frames-compatible browser), and also a site containing a review of the Vermeer exhibit: http://www.glyphs.com/art/vermeer.
