ALBRECHT DÜRER. "The Second Knot". Interlaced Roundel with an Amazon Shield in its Center

ALBRECHT DÜRER. "The Second Knot". Interlaced Roundel with an Amazon Shield in its Center. Artist: Albrecht Dürer (German, Nuremberg 1471-1528 Nuremberg); After Leonardo da Vinci (Italian, Vinci 1452-1519 Amboise) (or workshop). Dimensions: sheet: 10 3/4 x 8 3/8 in. (27.3 x 21.3 cm). Date: 1521 before. Embroidery pattern made up out of so-called knot work. The main pattern has a circular shape and is presented in white on a dark ground. The knotted ropes or straps form two main tiers with different patterns surrounding the central motif which is a blank Amazon shield with curled up edges. On all four corners another, leaf-shaped ornament has been added which sticks out of the circle. The leaves are filled with more knot work in white on the dark ground, and are surrounded by more leaf-shaped forms, combined with swirling straps in black.
