This woodcut print from Federico de Vinciolo's 1603 book, *Les Secondes Oeuvres,* is a detailed illustration of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. The scene is framed by a complex geometric pattern of interlacing circles and geometric forms, which represents the intricate design of a lace pattern. The print showcases the precision and artistry of early modern needlework, and it would have served as a model for embroidery or lace-making in the 17th century. The figures of Jesus, Mary, and John the Evangelist are rendered with careful detail, and the overall composition is both devout and artistic, emphasizing the importance of lacemaking in the visual arts.
