Morning Modelbuch (4/6/2019)

Not a great match, and I admit to preferring the pattern in the portrait, but leaves and interlace and diamonds show up all over, just not exactly as painted. The vertical pattern down the front of the shirt does look rather familiar, however. And the personality of the gentleman in the portrait just had to be shared.

Portrait from between 1525 and 1530 by Bartolomeo Veneto https://www.museothyssen.org/en/collection/artists/veneto-bartolomeo/portrait-man
