A completed cross stitch is laid out on a flat surface. It's about 40 centimetres wide and 60 centimetres high and it depicts a stylistic King of Hearts playing card. The pale-faced king looks straight at us and has a tall red hat on with matching jacket sporting flared shoulders and a sash across the front, all lined with gold. It's the sort of outfit that wouldn't look out of place at a Venetian masquerade ball. The background of the playing card is a pale, diamond-tiled pattern with geometric decorations within.
