Les Singuliers et Nouveaux Portraicts... page 66 (recto) 1588

"Les Singuliers et Nouveaux Portraicts..." page 66 (recto) is a printed page from a book by Federico de Vinciolo, a 16th-century Italian needlework designer, depicting a pattern for needlepoint. The design, printed in black ink, features a grid of tiny squares, which indicate the stitches to be made in the embroidery. The page is part of a larger work of needlepoint designs published in 1588, offering a fascinating glimpse into the world of Renaissance embroidery. This page, measuring 8 1/16 x 6 5/16 in. (20.5 x 16 cm), now resides in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, NY.
