Step into the vivid streets of 19th-century India with The Street of Blood, Delhi Cross Stitch Pattern by Marianne North. Painted during her travels through India in the 1870s, this remarkable composition captures a bustling Delhi street lined with red sandstone architecture, domes, and archways that glow under the intense Indian sun. The interplay of light and shadow, along with North’s extraordinary attention to detail, transforms a simple city street into a scene filled with history, energy, and warmth.
Marianne North (1830–1890) was a pioneering Victorian artist and explorer who devoted her life to documenting the world’s natural and cultural wonders. Unlike many of her contemporaries, she painted directly from life, often traveling alone through remote regions to record their beauty and atmosphere. The Street of Blood, Delhi exemplifies her unique combination of artistic precision and adventurous spirit — a striking celebration of place, color, and light.
This museum-quality, full-coverage, fine art cross-stitch pattern includes regular and large-print charts, five finished size options, clear step-by-step instructions, and a floss amount conversion chart for easy preparation. Perfect for advanced stitchers and admirers of travel art, The Street of Blood, Delhi brings history and artistry together in a richly detailed design worthy of display.
