A hand-stitched cross stitch scenery portrait, 40 × 50 cm, worked in cotton thread and finished in an embroidery hoop — ready to hang as it is.

It's worth understanding what you're looking at. Cross stitch is made one stitch at a time, each a single X counted onto the grid of the fabric. There is no brush, no shortcut and no undo: miscount early and everything after it sits wrong. At 40 × 50 cm, a piece like this runs to tens of thousands of individual stitches and takes weeks of work.

That's the difference between this and a print of the same image, and it's why a hand-stitched piece holds a room the way printed art doesn't — the texture is real, and you can see it.
