This fine art counted cross stitch pattern entitled The Little Beggar designed from a painting by William Adolphe Bouguereau shows a little girl looking forlorn sitting on a stoop with her open hand extended on her lap begging to receive food or coins to purchase food. She is barefoot as she has no shoes for her feet and her hair is unkept. Her clothes are dirty and haven't been washed in a good while, and she has the look of vulnerability and despair as such is the plight of those in need. The scene was painted in hopes to appeal to the wealthy to make them aware of starving children in America, and to appeal to religious charities to ease their plight. 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.
