About this deal

Stitch Hercules and the Lernaean Hydra by Gustave Moreau (1875–76). This counted cross stitch pattern recreates the painting in 56 DMC thread colours, based on the public-domain original at The Art Institute of Chicago.

It is a detailed, full-coverage design in full cross stitches only, with no backstitch or fractional stitches, made for stitchers who enjoy a rewarding long project.
