This fine art counted cross stitch pattern entitled The Course of the Empire, the Savage State designed from a painting by Thomas Cole shows the earth in its pre-civilized state with an abundance of wilderness and untamed land free from urbanism and the complexity of man in dealing with things about earth he cannot change. In this scene we see a man having to forage for his own food as a hunter chasing a running deer. A small settlement of teepees is present. The mountain in the background is a strong symbol of nature's power along with the strong winds blowing the clouds across the sky. 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.
