Hello Filiberto,

I thought about that, but I believed the separation belongs to the drawing itself because the slit stops before the edge.
When looking one more time, I've seen the slit stops before...the frame! You're right.

Anyway, I don't think we can so easily eliminate the tile hypothesis, when looking at the composition of this example:

Ambrogio Lorenzetti, Madonna and Child Enthroned with Saints, ca. 1349

and this other one:

Lippo Memmi, Maria lactans,1340s, Staatliche Museen, Berlin

In such examples, the floor covering is apparently (if the pictures are not samples) distributed all over the ground in a squaring arrangement, and without any main border...

Regards,
Y
