The “Album of Rocky Ravines and Clear Glow” is a collection of twelve extraordinary artworks. Our focus today is on the cross-stitch inspired by the second piece, “Crossing the Stream on Horseback”.

In this captivating cross-stitch, two riders and two servants are making their journey across a stream bridge. The air is filled with a gentle, warm breeze, and the springtime landscape is bathed in glorious sunlight. In the far reaches, at the base of the mountains, the villas are graced with an abundance of flowers that rival the splendor of a sunset sky. It seems that this is their likely destination for a spring outing. Within this limited space, a vivid and harmonious blend of figures and nature comes to life. The composition shows clear visual hierarchies, with precisely chosen colors and meticulously detailed elements. Every stitch, reminiscent of the original brushwork, invites a moment of contemplation and appreciation.

This cross-stitch also holds a deeper significance. In the hustle and bustle of our modern, chaotic lives, we all yearn for a small haven where our spirits can find peace. It could be a secluded courtyard, a mysterious unwritten manuscript, or a hidden, winding path. Whatever our hearts desire becomes a sanctuary, a place of respite and renewal. It serves as a guiding light, ensuring that when we venture forth on our future adventures, we do so with confidence and clarity.
