This page from *La Vera Perfettione del Disegno di varie sorti di recami* (The True Perfection of Design for Various Kinds of Embroidery), a pattern book by Giovanni Ostaus, was printed in 1567. The book features numerous intricate designs for needlepoint embroidery, with this page showing several different motifs, including winged figures, human heads, and a variety of floral elements. The designs are drawn in a fine and detailed style, characteristic of Renaissance ornament prints. Ostaus was a prolific designer of this type, and his work greatly influenced needlework and decorative arts in Europe.
