This page from a book by Willem Vosterman, dating between 1527 and 1540, features a geometric pattern printed in white on a black background. The image, titled "Ce est ung tractat de la noble art de leguille ascavoir ouvraiges de spaigne... page 21 (recto)", is one of many designs from a volume dedicated to the art of needlework. The pattern utilizes simple, repeating motifs to create a visually stimulating design, demonstrating the popularity of geometric embroidery in the early 16th century. The image, now held in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, offers insight into the artistic expression and practical application of needlework in the Renaissance era.
