Morning Modelbuch (7/17/2019)

Have a look at the acorns in the lovely lace in this portrait of Grand Duchess Bianca Capello de Medici with Her Son by Alessandro Allori in the Dallas Museum of Art. Object number 1987.11. The zoom on the museum site is wonderful, so definitely go have a look. https://collections.dma.org/artwork/4165383

There are some similar in Giacomo Franco (Lotz 131.) I’ve linked to the copies at the BNF previously, but I know some people like to be able to download the whole book when possible, so this is the link to a scan of the 1877 republication of Franco’s 1596 _Nuova inventione de diverse mostre cosi di punto in aere_
