This fine art counted cross stitch pattern entitled The Ruins of the Old Town Hall of Amsterdam designed from a painting by Jan Abrahamsz Beerstraten shows what was left of the old town hall from the fire in July of 1652. The sky has a somewhat bluish cast to it, and the air is acrid with the smell of smoke from the fire that took down such a grand building. Onlookers are milling about looking through the rubble in shock due to such a great loss. It indeed is a sad affair for the townspeople. Only full cross stitches are used in our patterns. No blended colors are used. We only use an abundance of solid colors as it produces a more realistic effect.
