Introduction
This is one of six designs that DGR executed in 1861-62 for a set of stained glass windows that were made by the Morris Firm. The windows are now in the Victoria and Albert Museum and the designs, including this one, are in the Birmingham City Museum and Art Gallery.
DGR made an alternative design for this event in the series. The drawing is in the Fitzwilliam Museum. Surtees surmises that it may be an earlier design, possibly executed as early as 1858. In 1863 DGR made a watercolour replica that is now at the Ashmolean.
