Another 16th Century Blackwork Embroidery Pattern

This blackwork embroidery pattern is my interpretation of the pattern on the cuffs in this Portrait of an Unknown Lady, circa 1500 to 1524 (attributed to Jean Perréal). This lady has sometimes been identified as Madeleine de la Tour d’Auverge (1498-1519), Countess of Boulogne, Lady of St Saturnin, by marriage Duchess of Urbino. Wife of Lorenzo II de' Medici and mother of Catherine de Médici, Queen of France.
