Studio delle virtuose Dame, page 30 (recto) 1597

"Studio delle virtuose Dame, page 30 (recto)" is a woodcut print from Isabella Catanea Parasole's 1597 publication, *Lavorio de punto reticella* which featured designs for needlepoint. This page demonstrates two distinct patterns, with a stylized, geometric design bordering the two larger, freeform designs which feature a concentric, circular motif. This book is considered one of the earliest examples of needlepoint pattern books, and helped popularize this form of textile art in Europe.
