The drawing is a working design for a window at St. Joseph's Priory in Somerset, Ohio, a small community in the rolling hills of Perry County. Drawings like this one served as the guide from which glass was selected, cut, painted, and leaded, so the sketch shows the composition, the figures, and the planned placement of color before any glass was cut. Designs of this kind were typically made by studio artists for Catholic churches and religious houses, where the windows were meant to teach and to light sacred spaces. Looking closely, you can see how the artist balanced the linework that would become the lead came with the areas of color that would carry the light.
