La vie de chateau I - Life at the court in the 17th century
CROSS STITCH PATTERN DESIGNED BY Perrette Samouiloff
The subject of this cross stitch pattern is life at the court of the Sun King, at the time of his meeting the Marquise de Montespan, who will become the favorite of the French monark, but also the time when the sumptuous project of the Versailles castle was born.
Young king Louis XIV meets the Marquise de Montespan at a ball. Fastuous dinners, flamboyant parties, follow one another. The king invites writers, poets, musicians ...
The cross stitch piece is full of charm. We see the king discussing the castle construction project, while a lady of the court plays with a small dog ... maybe seeking to attract the attention of the king.
