This fine art counted cross stitch pattern entitled Portrait of Madeleine (formerly known as Portrait of a Negresse) designed from a painting by Marie Guillemine Benoist shows a black woman sitting for her portrait in the year of 1800 being painted by the artist who was French.  Her finished portrait was later displayed in the Salon in Paris and has been in the Louvre gallery since 1818.  The woman has a somber expression on her face, and is wearing a white head scarf with a white draped dress baring her breast.  There is a sharp contrast between the color of her dress and the deep tones of her skin which makes the richness of her coloring really stand out. 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.
