Eyn new kunstlichboich, page 6r 1529

This page, from Peter Quentel’s _Eyn new kunstlichboich_ (1529), features a variety of black and white woodcut patterns. The book, meant to be a source of inspiration for artists, includes motifs for use in embroidery, weaving, and other decorative arts. Quentel, a German artist who specialized in printed designs, created intricate, repeating patterns that have a timeless appeal. This page, like others in the book, would have been carefully studied by artisans in order to learn and adapt these designs for their work.
