coloring book page

This woodcut, created by Iseppo Foresto in 1564, is a page from his pattern book *Lucidario di Recami*. The design shows a repeating motif of interlacing vines, leaves and flowers, encased within a grid. The central oval features two birds entangled within a decorative, knot-like frame, while the remaining space is filled with smaller, stylized plant forms. This page, now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, represents a typical design found in Foresto's *Lucidario di Recami*, offering inspiration for embroiderers and textile artists.
