This fine art counted cross stitch pattern entitled St. Mary Magdalene designed from a painting by Carlo Dolci shows Mary in a somber contemplative mood after the crucifixion of Jesus and she is thinking about the day's events as she wipes away the blood from the crown of thorns that had been placed on Jesus's head. Notice the halo over Mary's head as she was considered to be a saint by the Catholic and Eastern Orthodox churches. The colors are rich and bold and the golden glow of her skin is highlighted which adds beauty to the scene especially against the green background. Only full cross stitches are used in our patterns. No blended colors are used. We only use an abundance of solid colors to produce a more realistic effect.
