"La Vera Perfettione del Disegno di varie sorti di recami," a book of embroidery patterns by Giovanni Ostaus, published in 1567, showcases an intricate design of three interlaced bands of decorative motifs. The motifs are rendered in a gridded format, suggesting they are intended for needlepoint or similar stitchery. This page, from the book's 34th verso, exemplifies the detailed and geometric patterns typical of Renaissance needlework. Ostaus's work is highly prized by embroidery enthusiasts and art historians alike for its beauty and historical significance.
