Sheet with Flower and Diamond Pattern

German 16th Century

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a repeating floral geometric pattern. The image features a symmetrical arrangement of florals formed within a diamond grid pattern. Each diamond contains a flower with a central circle surrounded by petals, all outlined in dark ink against an aged, tan paper. The design appears to be drawn with precision. The edges of the paper are worn and tattered.
