Morning Modelbuch (10/2/2019)

16th century Italian velvet tablecloth embroidered with grotesque motifs in satin and gold, inventory number ?-3352 in the Hermitage Museum.

There are grotesques in several of the books, but I liked these in Iseppo Foresto’s _Lucidario di Recami_ dated 1564 https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/349914
