This fine art counted cross stitch pattern entitled Young Woman Holding a Fan a.k.a. Isabella designed from a painting by Simon Maris shows a beautiful young black woman posing for her portrait dressed in a lovely bluish seafoam green dress trimmed in white and a bonnet adorned with red flowers. She is holding a fan in one hand, and on the other hand, a bracelet and a ring are displayed. She is sitting in a comfortable upholstered armchair, waiting for the portrait to be finished. Her lovely face and hair remind me of myself when I was that age, and as I look back at my high school graduation picture. We could have been twins. 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.
