This fine art counted cross stitch pattern entitled The Abduction of Psyche designed from a painting by William Adolphe Bouguereau shows, according to Greek mythology, Cupid in the act of abducting Psyche and spiriting her off to some uncharted land for a lifetime of love and romance. The expression on Psyche's face says it all that she is in sweet rapture from Cupid's amorous embrace. They are flying high above the mountains. She is cloaked in a veil of purple while he is barely covered. 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.
