This fine art counted cross stitch pattern entitled Lovisa designed from a painting by Johan Christoffer Boklund shows a full portrait of the Queen Lovisa who was married to King Karl XV in 1861. Not only was she queen of Sweden, but was also queen of Norway. She had an unhappy marriage because she and her husband did not have much in common. She and her husband had two children, a daughter and a son who died as a young child. Here we see her in an ecru colored dress embellished with gold inlay and a royal cape and bodice in the color of coral. Her dress has a high collar, and she is holding a fan of peacock feathers. 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.
