The record gives this work's title as a design drawing for stained glass featuring Elizabeth, with the caption "One was a queen," so the phrase may point to a particular reading of the figure. Drawings like this were preparatory studies from which glass painters worked, often translating a composition into full-size cartoons and then into colored panes leaded together. Such drawings show how a designer balanced drapery, gesture and the flat, linear shapes that would later be defined by lead came. Looking closely at the outlines and any notes can reveal how the design was meant to read once light passed through it.
