Morning Modelbuch (7/5/2019)

16th century Italian drawnwork strip, accession number 20.186.23. This was obtained by the Met from the Ida Schiff collection. https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/220833

The little lion/dog creature shows up in several books including Niccolo Zoppino’s 1532 _Convivio delle Belle Donne_. The deer and tree are similarly frequent patterns. I’ve included a page from Quentel with a couple of trees.
