A rare vintage kit by the Royal School of Needlework 'Peasant Boy', a charming design in classic, historic style depicting a peasant boy with his dog, fishing, surrounded by a rural idyll with a squirrel in an oak tree, dog roses and the sun rising on the horizon. Shown as a framed picture, it would also make a wonderful mini wall hanging.
