This fine art counted cross-stitch pattern entitled Louis XIV of France designed from a painting by Hyacinthe Rigaud shows the French monarch standing in a pose of absolute majesty, draped in magnificent coronation robes embroidered with the royal fleur-de-lis. The still, heavy air carries the rich, faint scent of polished throne room cedar, old wax candles, and deeply perfumed velvet drapery, capturing the grand court hall at its peak. I hope that you will be fascinated by how the dramatic crimson curtains frame his commanding silhouette, rendering his regal expression. No doubt, recreating these deep sapphire fabrics, golden tassels, and complex ermine textures will bring an immense sense of royal history and grandeur to your needlework. 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.
