This woodcut print by Cesare Vecellio, from his book *Corona delle Nobili et Virtuose Donne*, depicts an elaborate design of a Venetian lace pattern. The intricately detailed design, which includes stylized floral motifs and geometric shapes, was likely intended to serve as a model for lacemakers. The book was published in Venice in 1601, and is notable for its exquisite examples of needlework. Vecellio, who was also a painter, was known for his detailed illustrations and meticulous attention to detail. The print is part of a larger collection of designs for lace, embroidery, and other forms of needlework.
