This fine art counted cross-stitch pattern, entitled The Boyarina is based on a painting by Konstantin Egorovich Makovsky and depicts a young Russian woman of the highest rank of Russian aristocracy. She is wearing the traditional Russian headdress called a kokoshnik that is complete with jewel-encrusted clothing, jewelry in the form of necklaces and rings, and an opulent gown with a fur stole. The artist's trademark of giving these women an expression of melancholy is well noted. Their skin is luminescent, and they are often painted dressed in opulence against a dark background to really make a glowing impression of beauty. 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.
