This fine art counted cross stitch pattern entitled Cupid Disarmed designed from a painting by Francois Boucher shows Venus withholding Cupid's arrows and taking them out of reach so that he cannot get to them. Cupid happens to be her son, and she is gently but effectively teaching him that she still wields the power of love and is reclaiming it. This scene is lauded for its sumptuous pastel colors and has been painted in the Rococo style by the artist. 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.
