This fine art counted cross stitch pattern entitled The Elder Sister designed from a painting by William Adolphe Bouguereau shows an older sister who is sitting on a rocky ledge covered with grass and moss cradling her baby sister in her lap while she gets the rest she needs as a baby. The scene is serene, subdued and quiet and the colors are largely earth tones. The elder sister is wearing a peasant style dress, and her sibling is donning a bonnet and wrapped in a blanket tied at the end. How sweet is slumber when you are in the arms of someone who loves you! 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.
