This fine art counted cross-stitch pattern entitled Reading Woman designed from a painting by Friedrich von Amerling shows a serene young woman adorned in a delicate lace veil and ornate gold headpiece, quietly engrossed in a book. She apparently is someone who appreciates quiet moments of reflection. You can just imagine, if you will, the subtle scent of aged paper and dried roses floating on a soft afternoon breeze. Every gentle shadow captures the peaceful mood of golden light across her delicate profile, making this cozy portrait a true joy to stitch. Our patterns use only full cross stitches. No blended colors are used. Instead, we use a variety of solid colors to achieve a more realistic effect.
