This fine art counted cross-stitch pattern, entitled An Eastern European Woman with Pearls, designed from a painting by Francois Martin-Kavel, shows an elegant woman adorned in vibrant, exotic textiles and shimmering pearl strands, her gaze bright with a welcoming smile. In creating this piece, the artist wanted to emphasize the allure of orientalism and the luminous, tactile quality of fine silks and jewelry. The visual palette is a striking combination of rich pomegranate reds and deep teals, illuminated by the creamy, iridescent glow of the pearls and the soft light reflecting off her translucent veil. This pattern is for portrait and fashion lovers who appreciate the glamour of a bygone era and the meticulous detail found in high-society portraiture. 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.
