Morning Modelbuch (3/26/2019)

The partlet/bavari in this unknown portrait is lovely. The painting is by an anonymous painter of the Venetian school and is part of the Wellington Collection, located at Apsley House. https://www.artuk.org/discover/artworks/portrait-of-an-unknown-lady-144446

The edging and shape match with patterns in Vecellio’s _ Corona delle Nobile et Virtuose Donne, Libro Terzo_, although the motif does not. https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/662178 There is also an entire book of bavari patterns published in 1620_Ornamento nobile per ogni gentil matrona, dove si continue bavari_ by Elizabetta Catanea Parasole. https://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/btv1b10526091w/f1.item
