The record ties this design to a window subject titled "Song of the Saints of God," a theme of praise for the holy figures of the church, and it credits the work to Isinga. Designs like this were working drawings, often painted in color on paper or board, that a glazier followed when cutting pieces of glass and joining them with lead came. The drawing shows the figures, their poses, and the color plan before any glass was set, so it reveals how the artist imagined light passing through the finished window. Look closely at how the lines and tones suggest the lead network that would later hold the composition together.
