This fine art counted cross-stitch pattern entitled Young Woman in a Dressing Gown designed from a painting by Francois Martin-Kavel shows a striking woman in a moment of quiet intimacy, her dark, translucent gown held delicately against her as she gazes forward with a confident, knowing smile. There is definitely a bold contrast between the deep, moody background and the luminous, porcelain quality of the subject's skin. This atmosphere could represent a candlelit boudoir in the quiet hours of the night. The colors used are rich, velvety charcoal of the dressing gown and the brilliant, saturated crimson of her silken headband, which draws the eye upward to her expressive features. This pattern is for classic portrait lovers who appreciate the mastery of light and shadow and the sophisticated, slightly provocative elegance that defines the artist's most memorable works. 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.
