This fine art counted cross stitch pattern entitled Paul I of Russia designed from a painting by Vladimir Lukich Borovikovsky shows a full-length portrait of the emperor posing in his royal regalia. He is the son of Catherine the Great and Peter III, and his childhood was ripe with turmoil. Before becoming a ruler, he often criticized his mother’s policies and could not wait to ascend the throne. But when he became a ruler, he became power hungry, reversed many of his mother’s policies, and was described as being quite impetuous in his actions and not using good judgment. These factors are probably what led to his demise of being assassinated in 1801. 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.
