This fine art counted cross stitch pattern entitled Alexandra Pavlovna Romanova designed from a painting by Vladimir Lukich Borovikovsky shows a portrait of Alexandra who is the daughter of Paul I of Russia. Her paternal grandmother was disappointed when she was born as she would have preferred grandsons over granddaughters. But as time went on and Alexandra seemed to blossom with many favorable traits, her grandmother changed her impression of her and complimented her on cleverness, humor and intelligence and developed a special bond with her. As a child, Alexandra could speak four languages and grew prettier by the day. As a young woman she married successfully Archduke Joseph and became Archduchess. She delivered her first child with much pain and discomfort with bouts of nausea, and unfortunately her first child only lived a few hours and passed away. Shortly after giving birth, Alexandra became ill with fever which eventually caused her death. She was only 17. 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
