La Pratique de l'Aiguille, page 7 (recto) 1605

"La Pratique de l'Aiguille, page 7 (recto)" is a 1605 engraving by Matthias Mignerak. The artwork depicts Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. They are shown with a snake and a tree with fruit. The engraving is part of a larger work, "La Pratique de l'Aiguille," which is a guide to needlework. The artwork is currently held in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. The engraving uses a grid pattern, a style typical of the 17th century, to illustrate the details of the biblical scene. This grid pattern not only makes the artwork visually appealing but also helps viewers understand the stitches and techniques needed for creating a similar needlework pattern.
