This fine art counted cross-stitch pattern entitled Study for King Lear designed from a painting by Sir Joshua Reynolds shows an agonizing elderly king with windblown white hair and a thick beard gazing upward toward a tempestuous sky. The swirling storm air carries the biting, wet scent of gathering rain and cold thunderclaps, capturing the raw emotional tempest at its peak of beauty. Just look at the way the dramatic highlights illuminate his weathered brow against the dark background, rendering his tragic intensity. No doubt, translating these textured silvery locks and rich purple robes onto your fabric will bring a profound sense of theatrical majesty to your needlework collection. 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.
