I am really out of practice matching up patterns. Which points out to me that I need to get back to doing this on a daily basis.

Portrait of a Woman with a Book was auctioned earlier this year on February 22, 2022. 16th century Italian School. The face isn’t nearly as beautifully done as the embroidery. The shirt is absolutely gorgeous. https://www.artcurial.com/en/lot-ecole-italienne-du-xvie-siecle-portrait-de-femme-au-livre-huile-sur-panneau-double-4145-120

It isn’t an exact match, but the line weights of the pattern and extra flourishes remind me of the moresque style of Pellegrino’s _La Fleur de la Science de Pourtraicture_ https://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/bpt6k857536m/f11.item
