A working design for a church window, this piece is titled "In the Temple" and was made for St. Michael and All Angels in Anniston, Alabama. The title points to a scene set in a temple, a common subject in church glass that invites viewers to read the story across the composition. Designs like this were usually drawn full size on paper so a studio could trace the lead lines and select colored glass before any window was assembled. Anniston grew quickly as an industrial town in the late nineteenth century, and its churches often commissioned windows from studios that worked from such drawings. The sketch lets you see decisions about figure placement, light, and color before they were fixed in glass.
