La Vera Perfettione del Disegno di varie sorti di recami, page 17 (verso) 1567

This page from Giovanni Ostaus's *La Vera Perfettione del Disegno di varie sorti di recami* (1567) features intricately detailed patterns for embroidery. The page showcases three different designs, each with a repeating motif of stylized birds and animals, interwoven with delicate floral elements. The designs are arranged in a grid format, making them easy for embroiderers to follow. This design book, one of the most important published in Venice in the 16th century, was a key resource for embroidery workers, offering a range of designs for various garments and household items.
