This fine art counted cross stitch pattern entitled At the Fountain designed from a painting by Henri Pierre Picouet, shows a graceful, classical woman kneeling beside a stone water fountain in a deeply shaded grove, leaning forward as a winged cupid offers her a refreshing drink from a small shell. In creating this piece, Picou wanted to emphasize the romantic and intimate charm of classical mythology, finding inspiration in the dramatic contrast of warm golden light against deep, mysterious shadows. The visual palette is a rich collection of deep forest greens, warm terracotta reds, and glowing amber tones, beautifully highlighted by the luminous skin tones of the figures. The scene captures the secret garden stillness of an ancient fountain, where the stone carvings and playful cherub create a feeling of pure enchantment. Only full cross stitches are used in our patterns. No blended colors are used. Instead, we use a variety of solid colors to achieve a more realistic effect.
