This page from a 16th-century needlework pattern book, titled "Ce est ung tractat de la noble art de leguille ascavoir ouvraiges de spaigne...", was printed by Willem Vosterman. The work displays a collection of geometric designs and floral motifs, typical of the intricate needlework patterns popular in Spain during the Renaissance. It is a valuable resource for understanding the decorative arts of the period and provides insights into the technical expertise of needlework artists of that time. This print, now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, serves as a testament to the enduring appeal of needlework patterns across centuries.
