Step into the world of Mary Cassatt’s exquisite artistry with our Lilacs in a Window cross-stitch pattern. Completed in 1883, this beautiful still life features a dark aubergine vase filled with lush purple and white lilacs, placed on what seems to be a windowsill or work surface within a greenhouse. The open window, propped slightly ajar, enhances the calm and tranquil ambiance of the scene, making it a perfect addition to any room.
Known for her focus on the human figure, Cassatt’s rare foray into still life art showcases her deep appreciation for flowers and nature. The angular fluency and expressive dash she employed in Lilacs in a Window are characteristic of her best works, offering a glimpse into her distinctive style. This piece was originally owned by a Parisian collector, Moyse Dreyfus, a patron and close friend of Cassatt’s.
This pattern offers an intricate yet rewarding stitching experience for art lovers and stitchers alike. Recreate this iconic piece of art with our Lilacs in a Window cross-stitch pattern, and add a timeless touch of Cassatt’s charm to your décor.
