This fine art counted cross stitch pattern entitled The Water Carrier designed from a painting by Eugene de Blaas shows a young woman with a nonchalant attitude whose job it is to carry and distribute water for the people in her family and village. She looks as though she is bored with such a mundane task and would rather be doing something exciting. Her clothing is indicative of her standing in life, and she walks barefoot to perform her daily tasks. She is a dreamer who hopes for a better way of life. 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.
