This fine art counted cross stitch patter entitled The Bunch of Grapes designed from a painting by William Adolphe Bouguereau shows a young woman, possibly the baby's mother, holding a bunch of grapes over the cradle for the purpose of amusing the baby; and he responds in giggles, laughter and reaches up to touch her arm. The use of the bunch of grapes by the artist is symbolic of fertility and the abundance of life. The young mother is wearing a white head covering, a burgundy apron and a peasant style blouse with a dark skirt. The baby is presented in the cradle fully unclothed. 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.
