This fine art counted cross stitch pattern entitled The Shepherdess designed from a painting by William Adolphe Bouguereau shows a young woman barefoot and dressed in peasant clothing balancing her crook nonchalantly over her arms in a pastoral setting. The sheep she has been charged to herd can be seen grazing in the open field in the background. The colors are muted in earth tones but look realistic and rich adding character to the scene. 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.
