This intricate engraving, part of Cesare Vecellio's *Corona delle Nobili et Virtuose Donne* (Crown of Noble and Virtuous Women) published in 1601, showcases a detailed pattern for needlework. The intricate design features a series of geometric shapes like stars, circles, and arches, arranged in repeating rows, reflecting a trend in 16th-century Venetian needlework. This volume, which contains over 200 patterns, is an important resource for understanding the art of needlework during the Renaissance period.
