Lot Essay

A member of the 'Fifteen', a group formed under Lewis F. Day and which later partially amalgamated with the Art Worker's Guild, Henry Holiday is known primarily for his work in stained glass but his creative interests also included enamels and mosaics. The present lot is likely to be derived from one of Holiday's full-length stained glass designs.
