Some interesting meza mandolina style lace in Scipione Pulzone’s 1594 Portrait of Maria de’ Medici. I also really like the points. They’re a simple pattern made complex by stacking layers up. Pictures from the 2012 auction at https://www.phillips.com/detail/scipione-pulzone-il-gaetano/NY050412/41

Patterns from Isabella Catanea Parasole’s 1597 _Studio delle virtuose Dame_. https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/355099
