This fine art counted cross stitch pattern entitled The Reader Wreathed with Flowers designed from a painting by Jean-Baptiste Corot shows a beautiful young woman sitting in a pastoral setting reading her book. She is wearing a wreath of flowers in her hair, and flowers are at her feet. The setting is pleasing to the eye, calm and sublime with pastel colors in the sky, tall trees in the background with their branches and leaves in feathery plumes. The young woman's dress is a striking shade of blue that really stands out amongst the other colors. This pattern would be the perfect gift when finished to give to a friend who happens to be a bibliophile (lover of books). 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.
