This fine art counted cross-stitch pattern entitled Juno Receiving the Cestus from Venus designed from a painting by Sir Joshua Reynolds shows a celestial scene where the goddess Venus leans down from a cloud of doves to hand her magic girdle to a majestic, robed goddess standing beside a peacock. The crisp, high-altitude air carries the clean, sweet scent of morning mist and ozone, capturing the swirling clouds at their peak beauty. Viewers are easily captivated by the way the ethereal sunlight pierces the gloom to catch the subtle folds of her blue and rose gown. No doubt, stitching this dramatic sky and the intricate, shimmering feathers of the peacock will bring a profound sense of classical storytelling to your creative hands. 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.
