Morning Modelbuch (12/8/2019)

Portrait of a Young Lady and Her Suitor by Bernardino Licino, dated around 1520 at the Galerie Canesso. The shirt embroidery stands out against his black jerkin. The simple sleeve embroidery is really nice as well. https://www.canesso.art/artworkdetail/779957/17952/young-lady-and-her-suitor

I know I’ve seen a closer pattern, with a fleur, rather than just an x, but I’m blanking on where that is right now, so here is a similar border from Nicolas Bassee _New Modelbuch von allerhandt Art nehens und stickens_ dated 1571 (Lotz 25.) http://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/bpt6k1510829w
