Morning Modelbuch (3/27/2019)

Cover with lions worked in silk on linen, dated to the first part of the 17th century at the Art Institute of Chicago. The pattern shows up in Zoan Vavassore’s 1530 _Esempalrio di lavori, che insegna alle donne il modo e ordine di lavorare, cusire e ricammare_. There are some crowns added and the texture in the lion’s bodies are pretty. https://www.artic.edu/artworks/2295/cover https://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/bpt6k1510849n/f24.image
