This woodcut print, "Trionfo Di Virtu. Libro Novo..., page 25 (recto)", is from a book of decorative patterns by Italian artist Matteo Pagano. The artist, who was active during the late Renaissance, is known for his intricate designs that were popular for textiles and other decorative arts. This particular print features a geometric pattern with two variations, one on top of the other. This pattern is characteristic of Renaissance decorative art, with its emphasis on symmetry, balance, and the use of repeated motifs. The precise details of the intricate designs would have been ideal for being woven or embroidered, providing inspiration for craftspeople of the era.
