This fine art counted cross stitch pattern entitled The Empress Theodora designed from a painting by Jean-Joseph Benjamin Constant shows a woman of high standing who has reached the pinnacle of success as a Byzantine empress. She exudes power, beauty, intelligence, strength and refinement. She sits on a grand throne of luxury and honor near the stadium, close enough to see all the action yet away at a safe distance to avoid becoming injured. This scene was painted by the artist in the Orientalist style full of bold colors and intricate exotic patterns. The colors alone in this work of art are enough to attract great attention and will be well worth the stitch! It's simply gorgeous! Only full cross stitches are used in our patterns. No blended colors are used. Instead, we only use an abundance of solid colors to produce a more realistic effect.
