This fine art counted cross stitch pattern entitled L Orientale designed from a painting by Paul Antoine de la Boulaye shows a young woman dressed in what people might call gypsy clothing with golden bangles weaved into her headscarf, a large metal necklace in geometric shapes, and an exotic dress in black and gold with an antique pink shawl draped around her body with fan motifs in antique gold. All of these rich colors and textures are on a dark red and black background for dramatic effect. She holds a fan in her hand to cool herself from the heat. She has the look of a confident woman who knows how to use her wiles to attract a man. 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.
