Morning Modelbuch (9/24/2019)

Portrait of a Lady by Bernadino Licino dated between 1525-1530, inventory number 81LC00197 in the Accademia Carrera https://www.lacarrara.it/catalogo/81lc00197/

Patterns from Zoan Vavassore _Illustrations de Opera nova universal intitulata : Corona di racami_. The plates done with dots rather than a fully filled in square in the grid are a little more difficult to see and are not commonly used. While the portrait doesn’t use a counted thread technique, I find it interesting that the grid is applied to such a curvilinear motif. https://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/btv1b2100040m/f1.item
