New Künstlichs Modelbuch (Page 10 recto) 1600

This page from Bernhard Jobin's "New Künstlichs Modelbuch" (1600), housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a fascinating example of embroidery design. Featuring a geometric border and a central motif of a vase with flowers and foliage, the intricate details of the work are realized through a dense pattern of small, repetitive stitches. This detailed page, typical of Jobin's work, would have served as a guide for needleworkers of the period.
