[…] In some of the more private areas, exquisitely detailed embroideries[…] the colours muted but rich[…] many wonderfully complex abstract patterns[…] "Needlework is a particular skill of ours[…]"

The art in public view is baroque and extravagant: horseback riders in storms, mythical beasts being fought, women in elaborate dresses –what one expects the art of devils to look like. In the more private areas, however, the devils show a preference for intricate embroideries. There are pastoral scenes with muted but rich colours, and a lot of intricate, abstract patterns.

When you inspect the patterns, their threads swim in your vision.
