Deep breath. Sorry about the extended break. Let’s get back to doing this regularly.

Portrait of a Woman, attributed to Pier Francesco Fosci (dated between 1540-1565) at the Rijksmuseum. Object number SK-A-3009. http://hdl.handle.net/10934/RM0001.collect.5074

The whitework of her partlet is just lovely. There also recognizable patterns in her smock, on the table, and the book she holds.

I’ve included a pattern with an interlaced square from Pagano’s 1554 _Ornamento delle belle & virtuose donne_. https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/660198
