Perlenstickerei-Set Ikone auf Kunstleinwand „Heiliger Alexander“

“St. Alexander” is a warrior prince in mail with a spear in his hand.

What the picture shows

The figure is shown to the waist against a pale embossed ground. Fine mail covers his shoulders, and over it a red cloak lined with white fur, clasped at the throat. A dark cross reads clearly on his chest. In his right hand he holds a long spear shaft, his left resting on his belt; green and red armour trim shows near the lower edge. His hair is fair, his beard short. The halo is gold, with a name plaque above. The beads fill the mail, the cloak, the fur and the halo, while the face, the hands and the ground stay printed on the canvas.

The piece is vertical, 230×300 mm; icons like this are usually stitched for a name day or a christening, and that takes several weeks of quiet evenings. The pattern is already printed on the canvas in full colour, so there are no squares to count. The frame in the photograph is bought separately — it does not come with the kit.
