CLASSICAL LOVERS IN A GARDEN
 
 

 

In this window the ladies display some very fine examples of drapery glass. It was inventd by Tiffany in order to show effectively the flowing lines of materials used in gown and in textiles generally. It is one-half inch thick in places-sometimes more. In this window drapery glass forms the gowns of the two figures, one of them greyish white and the other, variations of green. The ladies faces and hands are painted and there are may areas of double plated glass. The leaves of the trees are made from textured and undulating glass in shades of green, orange, and red. The bird, a Cockatoo is also painted. It is seen flying in front of a flower vase of a most unusual color design in blue, purple, orange and red. The vase contains several blue irises with green hues. The entire window is framed in brilliant red glass with a greenish yellow ornamental design. It is typical example of a Tiffany Studio window with its extensive use of drapery and double plated glass.

Documented as Tiffany this window was designed for the home of one of the Heinz daughters in Pittsburgh. It measures 7' 1/2" high x 5' wide.
