"Modelbuch aller Art Nehens vn Stickens (Page 2r)" is a page from a pattern book by Christian Egenolff, a German printer and publisher, and is a fine example of early 16th-century pattern design. The page displays three intricate ornamental borders, consisting of repeating motifs of stylized foliage, geometric forms, and knotted patterns, showcasing the flourishing of printmaking and decorative arts in the Renaissance. This page, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a testament to the influence of pattern books on various crafts and design practices, highlighting the era's interest in ornate design and intricate details.
