Kit de broderie de perles – icône « Sainte Charité (Lioubov) »

“St. Lubov” is a young martyr in a pearl diadem, with a cross and a white scroll.

What the picture shows

The youngest-looking figure in the group: almost a girl, with smoothly combed hair and a lowered gaze. A strand of pearl beads crowns her head and falls in drops across her brow. The dress is red, with a wide white pearl trim at the neckline and shoulders. In her right hand she holds a gold cross, in her left a rolled white cloth. The halo is gold, the ground cream with an embossed scroll. Red against pearl gives a restrained, almost festive palette. The beads fill the dress, the diadem, the trim, the cross and the halo, while the face, the hands and the ground stay printed on the canvas.

The 230×300 mm format suits both a home corner and a name-day gift. The full-colour print on the canvas shows where each bead goes, so the kit is taken up by people stitching with beads for the first time as well, as long as the first rows are not rushed. The frame is chosen separately: it is not included in the kit.
