This fine art counted cross-stitch pattern entitled Aquasi Boachi, Prince of Ashanti designed from a painting by Carl Christian Vogel von Vogelstein shows a dignified royal heir turned engineering pioneer standing proudly in aristocratic European dress. Aquasi Boachi was born a prince of the Ashanti Empire (located in present-day Ghana) as the eldest son of King Kwaku Dua I. Sent to the Netherlands in 1837 as part of a diplomatic arrangement, he went on to study mining engineering at the Royal Academy of Delft, becoming the world's first Black mining engineer. You can almost catch the faint scent of parchment and polished cedar lingering in the calm air as gentle light illuminates his noble features. His poised, reflective gaze is eye-catching and exudes a great deal of dignity and aristocratic countenance. Our patterns use only full cross stitches. No blended colors are used. Instead, we use a variety of solid colors to achieve a more realistic effect.
