A full-size cartoon for a stained glass window, its subject the Ascension of Christ, is a working document rather than a finished artwork, and that is what sets it apart from the finished panels on this board. Stained glass windows were typically planned in a drawing at scale, with the lead lines, figures and colored areas marked so that glaziers could cut and assemble each piece of glass. Such cartoons were often made by painters or designers and then handed to workshops that produced the glass, so the drawing shows the composition before any color or light entered the work. Looking closely at the lines and annotations reveals how a scene like the Ascension, with its upward movement and gathered disciples, was organized to read clearly from the floor of a church.
