Morning Modelbuch (10/27/2019)

I don’t know very much about German portraiture so I don’t link them as often as Italian, but there are so many with fabulous use of patterns that I sometimes just can’t resist. Portrait of a Lady. Unknown painter and unknown subject, approximately 1550 https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:16th-century_unknown_painters_-_A_Lady_-_WGA23786.jpg

Patterns from Peter Quentel _Ein new kunstlich Modelbuch_. This is the 1544 version of Quentel. https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/681377
