Lot Essay

The present lot is possibly a preparatory sketch for part of the design for the High Altar Tapestry in Chichester Cathedral. John Piper received the commission to design the tapestry in 1964, which corresponds with the date of this work.

We are very grateful to Rev. Dr Stephen Laird for his assistance in preparing this catalogue entry.
