This fine art counted cross-stitch pattern entitled The Dancing Girl designed from a painting by William Clarke Wontner shows a graceful young musician in flowing white drapery seated on an ornate red divan, holding a stringed instrument. In William Clarke Wontner’s The Dancing Girl, the subject is portrayed not merely as a performer, but as an idealized embodiment of classical and Orientalist romance. Seated barefoot in an attitude of quiet repose upon a richly patterned vermilion settee, she holds a long-necked stringed instrument—resembling a saz or tanbur—her fingers lightly poised across its strings as if between melodies. Her attire reflects Wontner’s hallmark aesthetic: flowing, translucent ivory drapery paired with a softly embroidered sash, layered beaded necklaces, and a jeweled red headpiece woven into her dark curls. Her steady, serene gaze engages the viewer directly, balancing aristocratic poise with intimate softness. 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.
