"Vampire in the King's Court" Needlepoint Canvas

No Spooky Season collection would be complete without a vampire! While this haunting portrait was based on Jean-Baptiste Greuze’s portrait of Charles Claude de Flahaut, Comte d'Angiviller, the undead version is completely unrecognizable after undergoing his vampiric transformation. The crimson background's bloody clash with our vampire's pristine pink silk coat is a disturbing hint at the insidious intentions of this well tailored courtier. The textures and techniques used to stitch this design take it to an otherworldly dimension, as the ruched cravat, bullion knot coiffure, and textured wallpaper all distract from the monstrous subject. 

Canvas hand painted and stitch painted onto a 4x5" oval on 18 mesh.
