The luxurious carpet beneath the Virgin’s feet – an item of very great value in northern Europe in the sixteenth century – is probably based on a real rug. Look closely and you can see how the artist has suggested its texture: the pattern is rendered in darker colours, with small dots modelled in lighter hues to indicate the texture of the knots.
