This print showcases a fragment from an exquisite border piece originating in Italy during the 17th century. The creator of this remarkable artwork remains unknown, adding an air of mystery and intrigue to its history. The photograph, taken at the Art Institute of Chicago, captures every intricate detail and design element with precision. The fragment itself is a testament to the skillful craftsmanship of Italian artisans from centuries past. Made from cream-colored linen plain weave fabric, it features delicate cut and drawn work embroidery executed in various stitches such as double hem double faggot hem, overcast stitches, padded overcast stitches, satin stitches, buttonhole bars, and bullion picots darned and overcast bars. Eyelet holes add further intricacy to the overall pattern. Against a subtle grey background, the geometric repetition creates a mesmerizing visual effect that draws viewers into its timeless beauty.
