This page, from Giovanni Andrea Vavassore's *Opera Nova Universali intitulata Corona di racammi* (1530) depicts a design for a tapestry. The design, which is framed by a thin black border, showcases a stylized floral pattern with intricate detailing within a grid. Vavassore, an Italian artist active in the 16th century, specialized in designing needlework, as evidenced by this intricate detail, and is considered an important figure in the history of embroidery.
