This fine art counted cross-stitch pattern entitled Picking the Favourite designed from a painting by Giulio Rosati shows captive women who may possibly be part of a harem on display to be chosen as the sultan's favourite. The colors and textures are very beautiful and vibrant in this scene, and the women's skin tones look more realistic. A eunuch is seen standing near the women to guard and protect them from intruders. 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.
