This page from *Modelbuch aller Art Nehens vn Stickens* (1535), by German artist Christian Egenolff (1502-1555), features three designs for needlepoint. The printed designs, part of a larger pattern book, are comprised of geometric shapes and floral motifs. The page, which is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a testament to the popularity of needlepoint as a decorative art form in 16th-century Europe. Egenolff's book provided inspiration and instructions for stitchers, fostering a vibrant community of needleworkers.
