New Künstlichs Modelbuch (Page 3 recto) 1600

This page, from Bernhard Jobin's *New Künstlichs Modelbuch*, is a blackwork design of a heraldic dragon. The detailed design utilizes geometric forms, highlighting Jobin's mastery of this intricate embroidery style. Blackwork embroidery, popular in 16th-century Europe, was often used for decorative purposes, and this book served as a source of inspiration for needleworkers. This print, like others in the book, demonstrates the intricate geometric patterns and heraldic imagery characteristic of German embroidery in the early modern period.
