When this documented Tiffany glass window was discovered
in a barn in Massachusetts, it was 100% covered with several layers of paint.
It is thought to have been designed for a school. The window measures 6'
high x 2'22" wide. " Very fine examples of many types of Tiffany
glass are used in this window. Tiffany jewels, ornament the bodice of lady's
dress and her hair. There is extensive use of multi-colors in the design.
The lady is in a standing position and displays a beautiful gown made of
drapery glass. Her head and hands are painted. She is standing on a cloud
of blue, orange and red, and is surrounded by two torchiers with scrolls
around the bases containing names of poets, musician and artists. Framing
the lady's head is an ornamental halo studded with Tiffany jewels. There
is much use of beautiful mult-colored glass in the background. The torches
contain rippled glass with smoke and flame arising from them in an array
of orange and yellow glass. Dr. E. Neustadt |
