Design for a Glass Window
by GOSSART, Jan, Pen and brown ink, brown wash, 602 x 219 mm
This design for a monumental glass window depicts scenes from the life of St John the Evangelist. The drawing is squared for transfer in black chalk, which could indicate that a full-scale cartoon was made of the composition. The coat of arms held by a rooster at lower left is blank, leaving unanswered all questions regarding the destination of the window, its patron, and whether it was ever realised.
