Les Singuliers et Nouveaux Portraicts... page 50 (recto) 1588

This page from Federico de Vinciolo's "Les Singuliers et Nouveaux Portraicts..." (1588) features a delicate, intricate design for needlepoint or embroidery. The image depicts a whimsical scene of two cherubs with bows and arrows, a deer, and a dog amidst swirling vines and foliage. This design, like others in the book, was meant to be copied by skilled craftspeople and further disseminated through needlework practices. The work exemplifies the fine craftsmanship and meticulous attention to detail characteristic of Renaissance textile art.
