This intricate woodcut print, created by Isabella Catanea Parasole in 1597, is one page from her book "Studio delle virtuose Dame." The design features a complex geometric pattern of circles, squares, and diamonds, arranged in a repeating motif. The black and white contrast adds to the visual intrigue of this intricate pattern, demonstrating the artist's skill in printmaking. The pattern is likely intended to be a design for embroidery or other decorative arts. The work exemplifies the Renaissance interest in geometry and its application in art and design.
