This fine art counted cross stitch pattern entitled The Customs House, Amsterdam designed from a painting by Jan ten Compe shows the Customs House, a very important building located near the port of entry near the sea front. This facility is of importance because it's where goods went through a customs process for importing and exporting and where customs duties on goods were assessed. This particular scene was created in the 18th century by the artist and shows a light blue sky streaked with large plaques of clouds and ships are shown in the harbor. Only full cross stitches are used in our patterns. No blended colors are used. Instead, we only use an abundance of solid colors to produce a more realistic effect.
