This woodcut, *Ornamento nobile...Fatta da Lucretia Romana (Libro V of the Corona), page 12 (recto)* by Cesare Vecellio from 1620, depicts a delicate lace pattern. The intricate design, which is featured on a page in a larger book, showcases a complex geometric arrangement of repeating floral and geometric motifs. Vecellio, a Venetian painter and engraver, was known for his artistic contributions to books including his *Corona*, which celebrated the artistry of Venetian needlework. The pattern's precision and intricate details offer a glimpse into the artistry of lace making in 17th-century Venice.
