This fine art counted cross stitch pattern entitled Solitude designed from a painting by Sir Frederick Leighton shows a woman sitting off to herself surrounded by darkness in the background. Her posture is in the form of melancholy, and she is in deep contemplation about something that is troubling her, as she searches for peace in her troubled world. The artist uses light effects with his paint to shine the spotlight on her, making her figure seem to glow with dramatic effect. She is shrouded in a headscarf, a white clingy short-sleeved gown, and a salmon-colored wrap she has draped over her seat before sitting on it. Her feet are bare, and she is sitting among slabs of rock. 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.
