Les Singuliers et Nouveaux Portraicts... page 30 (recto) 1588

"Les Singuliers et Nouveaux Portraicts..." page 30 (recto), is a design for a triangular lace pattern, one of many included in Federico de Vinciolo’s 1588 book. The intricate pattern, printed in black ink on the page, depicts a repeating motif of stylized flowers and leaves, culminating in a complex geometric center. Vinciolo, an Italian artist working in the late 16th century, published numerous books featuring designs for lace, embroidery, and other decorative arts. His work remains a valuable source for understanding and appreciating the art of needlework during the Renaissance.
