Description

Francis Wheatley's Cries of London series is assuredly one of the most enduring and charming set of portraits set to canvas in London during the late 1700's. This Lavender Vendor is certainly one of his finest and most well known paintings from the series, and has been beautifully reproduced for the counted cross stitch enthusiast. It's been iconic as advertising for Yardley Old English Lavender Soap. Just lovely! You'll work a variety of stitches to add dimensional depth to the hair of this Flower Seller and her companions; as well as the baskets, blooms and stems. Details abound in this diminutive design worked on 18 count Aida in stranded cottons. When it was first produced, it was chosen as a test for Australian stitchers for their Creative Skills Award contest for it's test of skills for the clever stitcher. Absolutely beautiful, your finished work will be one you'll be proud to display for a lifetime!
