This fine art counted cross stitch pattern entitled Girl with a Mandolin, designed from a painting by Jules Joseph Lefebvre, shows a young woman in the woods leaning up against a tree holding her mandolin up against her body in a protective pose. The atmosphere in this scene has a warm and rosy cast to it, with autumn leaves in burgundy clinging to the trees, and snow is already on the ground. The haunting expression on her face offers a small glimpse into the woman's mind, but it doesn't reveal much. Nevertheless, the fact that she is surrounded by nature and is trying to protect her beloved instrument from the elements speaks volumes. 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.
