Psyche Opening the Golden Box – John William Waterhouse

From: £2.00

Venus, opposed to the marriage of her son Cupid to the beautiful Psyche, sets Psyche many impossible labors before she will give her consent.  One is to collect a box of beauty from the queen of the underworld, Proserpina.  With help, Psyche leaves Hades with the filled box, but can’t resist opening it to add a bit to her own beauty. (Pre-Raphaelite, 1903).  This pattern is solidly stitched. Any color fabric may be used.

14 count kits can come with either 14 count aida or 28 count evenweave (for stitching over 2)
18 and 20 count kits are provided with aida
