Morning Modelbuch (11/2/2019)

Hunting scene worked in silk on linen, edged in bobbin lace at the Art Institute of Chicago, reference number 1895.883. Dated between 1601 and 1650, Swiss or German. https://www.artic.edu/artworks/2272/border

The scene with stag, dog, and hunters starts in the earliest books and continues to be re-envisioned as needle lace, filet, and other mediums as the books continue. Pattern from Peter Quentel’s _Ein new kunstlich Modelbuch_ https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/681406
