Morning Modelbuch (5/9/2019)

Sorry for the delay in posting. I had cataract surgery yesterday and my eye is recovering.

I wanted to look at the shaped lace borders in Siebmacher’s 1604 _Newes Modelbuch in Kupffer_ as they are a little different. They’re a bit lighter with smaller motifs. https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/682848 https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/682145

I thought the pattern style matched up well with this portrait by Livinia Fontana that was auctioned last year. https://www.dorotheum.com/en/l/6002574/
