Perlenstickerei-Set Mini-Ikone auf Kunstleinwand „Heiliger Vitalis“

“St. Vitaly” is an elderly monk in a green cowl with folded hands. Nine colours — one of the simplest charts here.

What the picture shows

The saint is shown to the waist, with a grey beard and a lowered gaze. A green cowl worked in beads of two tones covers his head. The mantle is brown, crossed by pale pearl bands that run diagonally and make the cloth look patterned. Both hands are folded before his chest. The halo is a ring of amber beads and the ground is golden rays with red dots at the top. The canvas is edged with a narrow gold band with red accents at the corners; a rectangular name plaque takes up the lower part. The clothing, the halo and the border are beaded; the face, the hands and the golden rays stay printed on the canvas.
