This fine art counted cross stitch pattern, entitled Diogenes, designed from a painting by Jean Leon Gerome shows an ancient Greek philosopher steeped in cynicism, living inside a large barrel holding a lamp light which symbolizes his quest for an honest man. His immediate onlookers are three large dogs on the right and one lying fully prone on the left. The philosopher has his barrel parked outside a large stone building while urban life is carrying on in the background. Only full cross stitches are used in our patterns. No blended colors are used. Instead, we use a variety of solid colors to achieve a more realistic effect
