This intricate design for needlework is a page from *Schon newes Modelbuch*, a pattern book published in 1617 by Sigismundus Latomus. Latomus, a German artist active from 1599 to 1632, created this detailed engraving showcasing a variety of motifs, including arches, intricate floral designs, and geometric patterns. This pattern book would have been used by embroiderers to create beautiful and elaborate needlework pieces. The piece is housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
