This fine art counted cross-stitch pattern entitled The Annunciation designed from a painting by John William Waterhouse shows the Virgin Mary kneeling in a sunlit stone courtyard as the Archangel Gabriel appears, offering a stalk of pure white lilies. Painted in 1914, this biblical scene captures the sacred moment the angel brings news that Mary will bear the Christ child. The morning light striking the patterned terrace rug and warm sandstone steps is simply breathtaking! Stitchers will, no doubt, find genuine peace watching this reverent encounter unfold stitch by 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.
