Recreate the pivotal moment in American history with Drafting the Declaration of Independence, an iconic painting by N.C. Wyeth, with this full-coverage cross-stitch pattern. This powerful work depicts the “Committee of Five”, the group of men appointed by Congress in June of 1776 to draft the Declaration of Independence. From left to right, the men in the painting are John Adams, Roger Sherman, Benjamin Franklin, Robert R. Livingston, and Thomas Jefferson—five of the most influential figures in the founding of the United States. They are portrayed in Mrs. Clymer’s Philadelphia home, where the drafting of this monumental document took place.
Wyeth’s dramatic rendering of the moment captures the gravity of the event, portraying the figures as they work through the document’s details, their expressions filled with determination and purpose. The dim lighting and rich colors highlight the historical significance of the moment while adding a sense of depth and intimacy to the scene. The composition focuses on the men’s formal attire, and the positioning of their bodies suggests the solemn nature of the task at hand—crafting a document that would forever change the course of history.
This counted cross-stitch pattern brings to life Wyeth’s meticulous attention to detail, capturing both the historical context and the dramatic tension of this iconic moment in American history. Available in regular and large print chart options, the pattern includes detailed instructions and a floss conversion chart, ensuring an enjoyable and rewarding stitching experience as you bring this pivotal historical scene into your home.
