This is a page from a 1532 printed book, "Libbretto nouellamete composto per maestro Domenico da Sera...lauorare di ogni sorte di punti," by the Italian artist Domenico da Sera. The page features intricate, geometric patterns, which are likely instructions for embroidery. The black background highlights the delicate detail and the white pattern on the page, showing off the skill of the artist and the potential skill of those who may have used the book to learn. This printed book is a testament to the enduring practice and interest in embroidery during the Renaissance.
