This fine art counted cross-stitch pattern, entitled The Penitent Puppy designed from a painting by Frederick Morgan shows a charming and humorous indoor scene where an elderly grandmother and a young girl look down at a small terrier who has made a mess of some papers on the floor. In this scene, the artist wanted to emphasize the gentle, patient interactions between generations and the playful, sometimes mischievous role of pets within the Victorian home. The visual palette is a warm and cozy collection of deep mahogany reds and rich blacks in the grandmother's attire, beautifully contrasted by the soft, ivory white of the little girl’s dress and the scattered scraps of paper. This pattern is for lovers of Victorian genre painting and dog-themed art who appreciate detailed interior settings and the masterly way 19th-century artists captured facial expressions and the soft texture of a puppy's fur. The scene captures the lively charm of a quiet afternoon in the parlor, where a small "crime" becomes a moment of shared family amusement. 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.
