Les Singuliers et Nouveaux Portraicts... page 69 (recto) 1588

This is a page from *Les Singuliers et Nouveaux Portraicts…*, a book of needlepoint patterns published by Federico de Vinciolo in 1588. This particular page features a design for a needlepoint pattern depicting a person (possibly a female figure) with a flower in their hand. The design is made up of small squares, or stitches, forming a grid-like pattern. This print is an example of the popular needlepoint designs of the late Renaissance.
