Teatro delle Nobili et Virtuose Donne..., page 18 (recto) 1616

This page from Isabella Catanea Parasole's "Teatro delle Nobili et Virtuose Donne..." (1616), a book of needlepoint designs, features several elaborate patterns on a dark background, with a geometric motif in the bottom left corner. The designs, rendered in white, are composed of interconnected leaves and flowers, typical of the flourishing ornamental style of the Italian Renaissance. This example highlights the intricate craftsmanship and artistic skill of needlework during this period.
