New Künstlichs Modelbuch (Page 34 recto) 1600

This page from Bernhard Jobin's 1600 pattern book, *New Künstlichs Modelbuch,* presents three detailed examples of needlepoint stitch designs for embroidery. These intricately drawn patterns for home decor, such as cushions, tapestries, and clothing, were popular during the Renaissance period and served as a guide for skilled needleworkers. The patterns, with their flowing lines and intricate details, exemplify the elaborate and fashionable embroidery styles of the time. The page, part of a larger pattern book in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, provides an intimate glimpse into the world of early modern needlework.
