Kit de broderie de perles sur toile d'artiste « Harmonie d'été »

“Summer harmony” is a park view with a stone bridge over a quiet river: white swans glide under the arch, a white gazebo stands on the bank, and a house with a yellow roof rises a little further off.

What the picture shows

The composition is horizontal and everything in it rests on the water: the bridge crosses the canvas through the middle, a golden reflection glows beneath it, and the swans swim straight towards the viewer. The banks are thick with flowering shrubs in purple, pink, blue and yellow, and the same colours repeat in the reflections. On the right, stone steps lead down from the gazebo to the water. Beads cover all the flowering shrubs, the tree crowns, the railings and the arch of the bridge, the roof of the house, the dome of the gazebo and the highlights on the water; the walls of the buildings, the shaded surface of the river and the blurred bright sky stay as painting. Thirteen colours carry the greenery, the flowers and the warm reflections at once.
