Scarlet Quince RAP007 Madonna del Granduca by Raphael Counted Cross Stitch Chart- Regular Size Symbols

A counted cross stitch pattern of the Virgin Mary, in a red dress and blue robe, gazing affectionately at baby Jesus who she holds in a sitting position. The name derives from the Grand Duke Ferdinand III of Lorraine who once owned the painting. X-ray analysis has revealed that Raphael originally painted a background with a landscape and architectural elements (as he did with all the other Virgins from this period) and it was painted over later. (1504) This pattern is solidly stitched. Any color fabric may be used.
