Zestaw do haftu koralikowego – ikona „Św. Ludmiła”

“St. Ludmila” is a princess in a crown, holding a gold cross in both hands.

What the picture shows

The saint is shown to the waist, the face young and concentrated. A gold crown set with red and green stones rests on her head, a white veil falling from it to her shoulders. The mantle is violet-lilac with a dark lining, and beneath it a dark gown with a fine gold pattern and a wide embroidered band down the front. Both hands hold a tall gold cross before her chest. The halo is gold, the ground cream with an embossed scroll. Eighteen colours give smooth gradations in the mantle and the crown. The beads fill the crown, the mantle, the gown, the cross and the halo, while the face, the hands and the ground stay printed on the canvas.

The vertical 230×300 mm format keeps the figure large and legible even from a distance. The canvas is dense, holds tension in a hoop and does not stretch under the weight of the beads, so the edges of the finished piece stay straight. The carved moulding in the photograph is not included: it is chosen separately after the embroidery is done.
