This woodcut, from a 1529 book of embroidery patterns by Peter Quentel, showcases intricate geometric designs. The image features a central band of repeating diamond shapes, flanked by narrower bands of geometric motifs. The intricate details and delicate lines of the pattern are characteristic of Quentel’s work, which was widely sought after by embroiderers and weavers in 16th century Germany. This page from "Eyn new kunstlichboich" provides a glimpse into the artistry and craftsmanship of textile design in Renaissance Europe.
