This fine art counted cross stitch pattern entitled Before the Battle designed from a painting by Dante Gabriel Rossetti shows a woman tying the ends of a banner in preparation for a battle that is about to take place. The scene is very colorful. Onlookers are watching her as she ties the banner. Each banner is stitched in magnificent detail. 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.
