This woodcut print, "Ornamento nobile...Fatta da Lucretia Romana (Libro V of the Corona), page 8 (recto)," is a design for needlepoint by Cesare Vecellio from his book *Corona*. It features a triangular pattern of delicate floral motifs and geometric designs, typical of 16th-century Venetian needlepoint, and is printed in black and white. The illustration is accompanied by a short text describing the pattern, written in Italian. Vecellio, known for his meticulous and detailed illustrations, published his *Corona* to showcase various forms of needlework, including lace, embroidery, and other decorative arts. This work served as a source of inspiration for needlepoint enthusiasts of the time.
