This engraving, from a book of needlework designs by Federico de Vinciolo, is a detailed and intricate pattern of lacework, featuring a central diamond shape surrounded by a circular design of intertwined loops. The design appears to be a heraldic shield, which was a popular motif for needlework in the 16th and 17th centuries. The fine lines of the engraving create a sense of delicacy and precision, typical of Vinciolo's work. The book's title, "Les Secondes Oeuvres, et Subtiles Inventions De Lingerie," highlights the importance of needlework and lacemaking in the Renaissance period.
