Girl with Green Shawl

One of finest photos with delicate skin tones and shading recreated as embroidery.

About motif

The look of the girl with a green shawl tells her story — a story of a girl running from war.

Original motif for this embroidery was done by Steve McCurry, one of the finest National Geographic magazine photographers. “I think the best way to actually photograph somebody is to really look them into their eyes,” Steve McCurry once said. “The eyes are so expressive, they say so much about a person.”
