This 1837 drawing by Charles Onghena depicts a stained-glass window from the house of Countess Vaernewijck d’Angest in Ghent. The detailed line drawing, a testament to Onghena's skill, captures the intricate design of the window. The artwork focuses on the window's structure, emphasizing the Gothic arches and the multiple coats of arms that adorn the panels, providing a glimpse into the decorative art of the time. The drawing's modest dimensions (268 mm x 183 mm) are indicative of a study or preparatory work rather than a finished piece. This drawing is a valuable historical document, offering insight into architectural details and decorative practices of the 19th century.
