A study for a mosaic processional at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, this preparatory design shows how the finished work was planned before any glass was set. Artists typically worked out such compositions at full or reduced scale, marking color, rhythm, and the placement of figures so that craftsmen could follow them piece by piece. Cornell was founded in 1865 on a hillside above Cayuga Lake, and its early buildings were designed in the Gothic Revival style, which made church-derived decoration like mosaic and stained glass a natural fit for its ceremonial spaces. The drawing is worth studying for how it translates a flowing procession into a grid of colored fragments.
