Two panels of this design drawing are set side by side, each sketched in full for a stained glass window, with the lead lines and color notes that a glazier would need to cut and assemble the pieces. Drawings like these were usually made by a studio artist before any glass was cut, so the sheet doubles as both a picture and a working blueprint for a church window. Stained glass of this kind flourished in religious buildings from the medieval period onward, and designs were often reviewed by clergy or patrons before fabrication began. Look closely at how the figures and borders are arranged across the two panels, since that composition shows how the artist planned the windows to be read together.
